Team news & probable lineups

Anthony Gordon is expected to remain on the bench, with Harvey Barnes pushing to start after scoring as a substitute. Lewis Miley, Emil Krafth, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar remain out, while Joelinton is a fresh doubt.

West Ham should have a similar squad to the Arsenal game, although Adama Traore is unavailable with a quadriceps issue. Nuno Espirito Santo may keep the 3-4-2-1 shape that nearly earned a point last time out.

Newcastle (4-2-3-1, probable): Pope; Hall, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Tonali, Guimaraes; Barnes, Woltemade, Ramsey; Osula.

West Ham (3-4-2-1, probable): Hermansen; Todibo, Disasi, Mavropanos; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Fernandes, Diouf; Bowen, Summerville; Castellanos.

Head-to-head & form

  • West Ham won the reverse fixture and also won at St James' Park last season, so Newcastle cannot treat this as a comfortable home send-off.
  • The pressure sits heavier on West Ham, who start the weekend in the relegation zone and need a result to keep control of the final-day equation.

Key pre-match stats

  • Harvey Barnes has scored in back-to-back league appearances and has a strong Premier League record against West Ham, with six goals and three assists in the matchup.
  • Joelinton's availability matters because he has been one of Newcastle's main duel players, regularly making multiple tackles and also conceding fouls.
  • Crysencio Summerville has been highly involved in contact actions, both winning fouls and conceding them at notable rates across recent league games.
  • West Ham have failed to score in their last three league away games, a worrying trend before a must-take-points trip.
