The Hammers will go into the weekend’s round of fixtures just one point above the relegation zone and could even begin Saturday evening’s game in the drop-zone.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are sitting pretty in 3rd place and aiming to extend their unbeaten Premier League run to 16 games when they host David Moyes’s side.

So how will Eddie Howe react to these setbacks and what side will he pick on Saturday?
Here, we take a look at the Newcastle United starting XI that Howe could pick to face West Ham.
