West Ham United and Newcastle United will round off the Premier League weekend when the pair lock horns at the London Stadium on Monday night.
After earning a shock 1-0 win away at Arsenal, the Hammers made it two wins from two with a comfortable 2-0 success at home to Leicester during the recent midweek round of action.

The Magpies’ quest for Champions League qualification has been dented after coming away empty-handed from three of their last four Premier League matches.
To make matters worse, Eddie Howe’s side also exited the FA Cup last Sunday when falling to a 2-1 defeat to Brighton after extra-time.
