Eddie Howe's Newcastle United will look to make it four straight wins across all competitions as they face under-performing West Ham at St. James' Park on Monday. The Magpies appear to have put their indifferent early season form behind them,

West Ham have had a much poorer start to their season, with Julen Lopetegui ’s side languishing in 14th, just three points above the relegation places. And with matches against fellow strugglers Leicester and Wolves coming up – as well as a match at home to Arsenal up next – the Hammers desperately need a win as they head into one of the most congested periods in the fixture list in December.
