West Ham v Newcastle

West Ham vs Newcastle Preview

West Ham will be going in search of a third win on the trot in the Premier League on Monday night as The Hammers look to extend the recent mini revolution under new manager Graham Potter following recent wins against Arsenal and Leicester City respectively.

Newcastle United slumped to a fourth loss in six games last time out though in the English top flight after being dealt a 2-0 defeat away from home at Anfield against Liverpool, but The Magpies still remain just two points shy of fifth placed Chelsea and just three points behind Manchester City and the top four pack.

West Ham's recent back-to-back wins have helped lift The Iron up into 15th place in the Premier League table where the London hosts possess a commanding 16-point cushion above the relegation zone ahead of this weekend's top flight action.

However, league wins have been hard to come by for West Ham in this season's Premier League campaign as Graham Potter's side have managed to capture just five wins from their previous 15 matches overall in the domestic top flight, along with being dealt seven defeats in the process.

Therefore, the straight win markets may be best avoided but the goals market appeals as nine out of their 14 home games to date this term have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Newcastle United continue to cling onto the coat-tails of the top four pack and a possible Champions League spot despite slipping to a 2-0 loss away from home at the Premier League leaders Liverpool, which also became a fourth loss in six games for Eddie Howe's side.

Recent losses at the hands of Bournemouth, Fulham, Manchester City and Liverpool have overshadowed the two wins that The Magpies have picked up within their previous six games overall, which came in the form of victories over the likes of Southampton and Nottingham Forest in 3-1 and 4-3 wins respectively.

Prior to this mixed bag of results, the north-east club had previously put together a six-match winning streak in the Premier League which included victories gained on the road at Ipswich Town 4-0, Manchester United 2-0 and Tottenham 2-1, so Newcastle United will still feel fairly confident about their chances of taking the spoils in the nation's capital on Monday night.

Results away from home haven't been too bad either for The Magpies as they have registered four wins from their last outings on the road, while the goals market also looks a promising proposition as nine out of their 14 away games to date this season have also resulted in three goals or more.
