Expected Lineups West Ham vs Newcastle
West Ham:Areola, Kilman, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles, Soucek, Irving, Diouf, Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Summerville.
West Ham is going through one of their worst phases since the start of the season, still trapped in the relegation zone of the 2025/26 Premier League. After 9 rounds, coach Nuno Espirito Santo’s team has only 4 points, 4 points behind the safety zone, ranking 19th on the table.
In the last 6 matches, the “Hammers” have not tasted victory, losing 5 and drawing 1, scoring only a few goals while their defense keeps making mistakes. Despite having home advantage in the upcoming match, it gives little confidence to fans as West Ham has lost all 4 recent home games in the Premier League, including heavy defeats against direct relegation rivals.
Coach Nuno Santo is still struggling to find a solution for the ineffective and uninspired attack. Key players like Bowen and Paquetá have failed to maintain consistent form, making the team’s play disjointed and predictable.

On the other hand, Newcastle United continues to maintain necessary stability under coach Eddie Howe. The “Magpies” have won 5 of their last 6 matches across all competitions, showcasing high-pressing fast play and effective finishing. However, in the Premier League, their form has yet to break through significantly with only 12 points after 9 rounds, preventing them from entering the top group.
Still, Newcastle is rated higher due to squad depth and consistent away performance. Stars like Woltemade, Anthony Gordon, and Bruno Guimarães are in great form, ready to make a difference in decisive moments.
Head-to-head statistics also favor the visitors. In the last 5 meetings, Newcastle has won 3 matches, many by clear margins. Given the current form, it is hard for West Ham to cause an upset even at home.
Most likely, the “Magpies” will fully exploit their opponent’s decline to secure all 3 points, continuing to chase the top spots.
