Newcastle has a history of being a tough opponent for West Ham, having not lost consecutive home games against them since 1998. However, West Ham has the upper hand, having beaten Newcastle 3-1 earlier this season.

West Ham's attacking game has been inconsistent, having scored no goals in their last three away matches. On the other hand, Newcastle has struggled to keep clean sheets, having only achieved one in their last 14 games.

West Ham will be looking to replicate their 3-1 win against Newcastle earlier this season, but they will also be mindful of their limited history of beating Newcastle in the Premier League era.
