West Ham United vs Newcastle United 05.04.2023 English Premier League

Match Overview

This double gameweek in the Premier League will see the London Stadium light up in anticipation as West Ham United host Newcastle United in their hallowed turfs. The home team are going through a rocky phase at the moment, while Newcastle are on the ascendancy. The visiting side are primed to snatch a victory here in the capital city of England.

Key Highlights

Newcastle come into this game on the back of a stupendous showing against Manchester United on Sunday, which propped them up to the third position in the league table. West Ham United too sneaked in a narrow victory past Southampton over the weekend. Allan Saint-Maximin and Joelinton remain the players to watch out for the visiting side, while it will be Declan Rice's duty to shield his defenders from their onslaught.

Injury Report

Despite star players Miguel Almiron and Joe Willock being ruled out, Newcastle will back themselves to take West Ham on. Emile Krafth too will be missing in action for them. For the home team, doubts have been raised over Gianlucca Scamacca's fitness, but manager David Moyes will hope that he plays some part in this match on Wednesday.

Prediction

This is going to be a rather closely contested encounter. We expect both teams to get on the scoresheet (BTTS) but Newcastle can emerge as winners. However, what works in favour of West Ham United is that they have been unbeaten in the last six matches that they have played at home. For the visitors, however, the fact that they have kept the most number of clean sheets in this competition will give them a lot of confidence.
