West Ham United will be returning to Premier League action this weekend as they prepare for a match against Newcastle United. The upcoming clash at St James’ Park is highly anticipated by fans of both clubs.
David Moyes is facing pressure as the Hammers have recently recorded back-to-back draws in the league. Eddie Howe is also under scrutiny, with his team currently trailing West Ham by four points and three places in the league standings.
Newcastle are in desperate need of a win but could be facing difficulties with up to nine key players potentially missing from the squad on Saturday.
Despite the challenges, West Ham should approach the match with confidence and belief in their ability to cause problems for their opponents.
The Hammers cannot afford to lose if they want to remain in contention for a top-seven finish this season. While a draw would be a respectable outcome, there is optimism that they can secure a victory by asserting themselves against Newcastle.
One positive development for West Ham is that Callum Wilson, who has been a thorn in their side with his goal-scoring prowess in previous encounters, will be absent from the Magpies’ lineup due to injury.
With Wilson out of the picture, West Ham may have a better chance of claiming a crucial win at St James’ Park on Saturday.
