Newcastle United go in search of four successive Premier League wins when they travel to the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Magpies come into the match on the back of their brilliant 4-1 win over PSG in midweek - a game that followed a comfortable 2-0 win over Burnley last weekend.
Newcastle’s recent form has been even more impressive when you consider the injury problems that Eddie Howe has had to deal with over the last few weeks.
Howe hasn’t been able to pick from a full strength squad this season and will have to balance the demands of domestic and European football as the fixture schedule piles up.
David Moyes, his counterpart on Sunday, also has similar issues to balance and whilst he has had less injury worries this campaign, the Hammers do have doubts over a couple of players heading into Sunday’s match.
Here, we take a look at the very latest injury and team news from both camps:
5. Joelinton - doubt
The Brazilian hobbled off against Burnley in what looked to be a serious injury setback, however, Howe has revealed that he is close to being fit to play. Joelinton may not be risked this weekend with Bruno Guimaraes, Sean Longstaff, Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson all impressing in recent times. | Getty Images
6. Emil Krafth - out
After more than 13 months out, Krafth made his long-awaited return to action on Friday night as he played 45 minutes for the Under-21’s. Krafth suffered an ACL injury against Tranmere Rovers in August last year and Friday’s appearance for the Under-21’s was his first taste of action since being injured. A return to the first-team fold isn’t too far away for the Sweden international - but the game with West Ham will come too soon. | AFP via Getty Images
7. Sven Botman - out
The Dutchman missed Saturday’s win over Burnley and their Champions League victory in midweek with a knee problem. Although he isn’t expected to be sidelined for too long, the game against West Ham will likely come too early for him and a return after the international break is most likely. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Callum Wilson - doubt
Wilson has missed the last three games with a ‘minor injury’ but, according to Howe, was ‘close’ to making his comeback on Wednesday night. Wilson loves scoring against the Hammers and will be desperate to add to his haul against them this weekend. Newcastle will make a late call on the striker. | Getty Images
