West Ham will look to ride the wave of their Europa League win earlier this week with a victory over Newcastle United. The Irons will host Eddie Howe’s side at the London Stadium on Sunday, who are currently behind them by just one point in the table.
West Ham may be without Michail Antonio following the latest injury updates, which could spell out a reshuffle in David Moyes’ attack. The 33-year-old did not travel with the team for their midweek clash against SC Freiburg, and the manager will make a decision on his fitness ahead of Newcastle.
With that in mind, we’ve predicted how West Ham could line up to face the Magpies on Sunday as they look to keep their fine form going.
1. GK — Alphonse Areola
Areola is set to return to the net after sitting out the midweek clash.
2. RB — Vladimir Coufal
Coufal has played almost every minute of Premier League action so far and contributed an assist in his last three games.
3. CB — Kurt Zouma
Zouma hasn’t missed a moment of Premier League action this season.
4. CB — Nayef Aguerd
Aguerd has started every league match except for his absence against Brighton due to his red card suspension.
