Newcastle United continue their quest for Champions League football as they take on West Ham United at the London Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Magpies come into the match on the back of a splendid 2-0 victory over Manchester United in their last outing, similarly, the Hammers also came out victorious over Southampton with a 1-0 scoreline.
Newcastle United Vs West Ham United: Talking Tactics
Eddie Howe would probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name the same starting XI. So we can see Alexander Isak lead the line in the attacking third while Nick Pope operates in between the sticks for this away encounter.
David Moyes could probably set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep the changes to a minimum. Hence, we could see Lucas Paqueta continuing in the central areas alongside Declan Rice while Danny Ings leads the charge against the opposition.
Team News
Newcastle United
The Tyneside club remain without the services of Miguel Almiron, who remains sidelined through injury, and Emil Krafth, who could miss the rest of the season due to an ACL tear. Hence, we can expect Jacob Murphy to continue in the right-wing position in the absence of Almiron while Allan Saint-Maximin operates on the opposite flank.
Newcastle United Predicted XI
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Saint-Maximin
West Ham United
On the injury front, Gianluca Scamacca is the only doubt for the East London club as the Italian striker continues to recover from a knee issue. Lukasz Fabianski returned from injury to keep a clean sheet against Southampton, so we can expect him to continue in goal for this home encounter.
West Ham United Predicted XI
Fabianski; Kehrer, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Soucek, Rice, Paqueta; Bowen, Ings, Benrahma
