MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

@alistairmann01: Things have changed quite significantly for these two clubs in just the last six weeks. On the day West Ham beat Arsenal to move up to a season-equalling high of ninth in the table, Newcastle lost at Chelsea to slip into the bottom three.

Now they meet with the Magpies fresh from a fourth victory in six, with the Hammers having accumulated just five points in that time, a period in which they were also knocked out of the FA Cup by lowly AFC Wimbledon.

The hosts can at least boast an unbeaten start to 2019 at the London Stadium, a potentially decisive factor against opponents who, despite their gathering momentum, are yet to win away in the league this year.

VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT

West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini: "We have had less than 72 hours to prepare [for this game]. We made some changes against City to have some players fresh for tomorrow.

"The problem is not when you have too many players, it's when you don't. We have four strikers fit, we have wingers too and we are prepared for the last part of the season."

Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez: "My message to the players, and everyone, is that we still have a lot of work to do. We have to approach every game with the same idea we had from day one.

"The next game is the most important and if we can get to 38 or 40 points, we can enjoy it a bit more if possible."

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

West Ham are looking a much better side than they were at the start of the season but Newcastle are flying at the moment, with four wins and a draw in their past six league matches.

Prediction: 0-2

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

    West Ham won 3-0 earlier this season and are looking to complete a league double over Newcastle for the first time since the 1998-99 season.

West Ham United

    West Ham are unbeaten in four league games at home (W2, D2). They have yet to go five without defeat at London Stadium. However, the Hammers have kept only two clean sheets at home this season - only Fulham have a worse record. Manuel Pellegrini's side have earned just five points from their past six league matches. West Ham's eight-goal leading Premier League scorer Felipe Anderson has failed to score in his last nine league games. Former Newcastle player Andy Carroll has never scored a Premier League goal against the Magpies in nine matches.

Newcastle United

    Newcastle are looking for a third consecutive win, and a third clean sheet in a row. The Magpies could keep three consecutive Premier League clean sheets for the first time since November 2014. Only the two Manchester clubs and Arsenal have earned more points in their last six league games than Newcastle's 13. Newcastle have won only one of their last 10 Premier League fixtures in London (D2, L7). Manager Rafael Benitez has won 11 Premier League games against West Ham, more than he has against any other opponent.
