Your support makes all the difference.Newcastle United host West Ham United on Monday night in the Premier League, with both sides in need of the points for somewhat different reasons.
The Magpies had a fairly indifferent start to the campaign but two wins on the bounce before the international break leaves Eddie Howe’s team in eighth, only one point behind the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea before the weekend’s action began.
In a congested top half of the table, consistency will be key to their hopes of attaining European football for next term and staying ahead of the likes of Aston Villa, Spurs and Manchester United will be vital to doing so.
As for the Hammers, Julen Lopetegui has had a very poor start to his time in charge and although he’s not concerned about talk of pressure, three wins from 11 matches tells its own story.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
When is the match?
Newcastle host West Ham at 8pm GMT on Monday 25 November.
