Newcastle travel to the London Stadium hoping to make it four wins in a row following Sunday’s 2-0 win over Manchester United at St James’ Park. Joe Willock, who opened the scoring against Man United, was withdrawn in the closing stages with a potential hamstring issue.
Willock is a doubt for the trip as it stands with Magpies head coach Eddie Howe giving little away during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday morning. Miguel Almiron is also out along with long-term absentee Emil Krafth.
Matty Longstaff is also a long-term absence with his contract set to expire in the summer. He has not been included in Newcastle’s 25-man squad for the second half of the season since returning from a loan spell at Colchester United.
Gianluca Scamacca is the only major concern for West Ham heading into the game with the striker picking up a knee injury. Scamacca and Willock are the two doubts heading into the game for either side while Newcastle also have a few players already ruled out.
