Newcastle vs West Ham Preview

Coming off its highest Premier League points total since the league’s inception, West Ham will begin the new season by visiting Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers ended 2020/21 in sixth behind a 19-8-11 W/D/L record, with just two points and goal difference separating them from Champions League qualification.

Comparatively, Newcastle remained in the Premier League mid-table, finishing 12th with 45 points thanks to a strong second half of the campaign which saw it record five wins and five draws from its final 13 matches.

The Magpies were one of the reasons their opponents did not finish in the top four last season, as they claimed a pair of wins over the Hammers by an aggregate scoreline of 5-2.

As a result, Newcastle is now undefeated in four matches against West Ham, three of which have seen at least four goals scored.
