STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Mon: Newcastle v West Ham

Newcastle United go head-to-head with West Ham United on Monday night with Eddie Howe’s side looking to close the gap on the top-four, writes JOE CITRONE.

After a tricky run of form, Newcastle United have responded magnificently in the last couple of weeks with impressive victories over Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

In that most recent win at the City Ground, Howe’s men had to battle back from behind with second-half strikes from Alexander Isak, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes sealing an important win for the Magpies.

Dan Burn picked up his fifth booking of the season, which means he will be suspended for this home clash with West Ham on Monday, with Lloyd Kelly likely to fill in.

West Ham endured a rough start to the season, but have picked up a couple of decent victories in recent weeks against Ipswich Town and Manchester United.

However, the Hammers are still plagued by inconsistency – shown by their 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest recently – and will be hoping to kick on in the upcoming weeks.

Mohamed Kudus is also suspended for this one – serving the final game of his five-match suspension – but Julen Lopetegui can now recall Edson Alvarez to the side after returning from his own ban.

I do think, however, that Newcastle will have too much for the Hammers in this one and that’s why I like the look of a home win to nil at 19/10 with starsports.bet.
