Newcastle United and West Ham United presents an intriguing clash, with Newcastle currently favored to secure a victory. According to predictions from Opta's supercomputer, Newcastle boasts a 58.9% probability of winning, bolstered by their recent form which includes consecutive victories against formidable opponents such as Chelsea and Arsenal. In contrast, West Ham has struggled significantly in recent matches, failing to score in their last two games while facing defensive challenges away from home.
Aston Villa and Fulham, whom they are sandwiched in between - Howe's men are sitting pretty in ninth place in the Premier League table, and only four points separate them from Chelsea in the bronze medal position.
Results on Saturday bumped the Magpies down one place in the standings, but Monday's hosts can only concern themselves with what is in their control as they eye three consecutive Premier League triumphs for the first time since September 2023.

Since that trio of successes 14 months ago, though, Newcastle have won back-to-back games six times in the Premier League before failing to prevail in their third game in that sequence, but a run of just one loss from 15 home games in all tournaments offers optimism that West Ham will not be blowing celebratory bubbles on Monday.
Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Schar, Targett, Livramento, Hall, Willock, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Joelinton, Isak & Gordon
