West Ham United will play host to Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon in their latest Premier League challenge. The Irons are fresh off the back of their midweek victory in Germany, where they beat SC Freiburg 2-1 in the Europa League thanks to goals from Lucas Paquetá and Nayef Aguerd.
Their last league outing saw them beat Sheffield United 2-0, while the Magpies earned a similar win over Burnley, but have since stunned Paris Saint-Germain with their 4-1 performance in the Champions League.
David Moyes has provided an update on his squad’s fitness levels and Newcastle are also not without their fair share of injury troubles. We’ve rounded up the latest news surrounding both clubs, including their outs and doubts, as they prepare to lock horns at the London Stadium this weekend.
1. Michail Antonio — doubt
Antonio did not travel to Germany midweek due to a hip injury and Moyes remains uncertain whether he will be fit this weekend.
2. Aaron Cresswell — out
Cresswell is out with a hamstring injury but is expected to return soon.
3. Benjamin Johnson — out
Moyes said earlier this week that Johnson had ‘picked up a little injury’ ahead of the Freiburg clash.
4. Callum Wilson — doubt
Wilson picked up a ‘very minor’ hamstring injury but remains a doubt for Sunday.
