Newcastle United go in search of a fourth straight victory when they travel to relegation-threatened West Ham United tonight.
Wins against Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United have propelled the Magpies back into the top four race, with Sunday’s 2-0 victory lifting them into third in the Premier League table.
The visit to the London Stadium is no easy task however, with the Hammers fresh from winning their relegation six-pointer against Southampton.
The fixture is both clubs’ second in just four days, so changes may occur. Here’s the Newcastle United starting XI we’re prediciting Edd

2. GK: Nick Pope

3. RB: Kieran Trippier
Trippier was back to his best against Man United. A proper captain’s performance, and a quality assist for Callum Wilson’s goal.
4. CB: Fabian Schar
