Is West Ham vs Newcastle on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Newcastle will look for a fourth straight Premier League victory this afternoon as they visit West Ham at the London Stadium.

Having looked like relegation favourites for much of the season so far, Newcastle have finally discovered some form to win their last three games and go unbeaten in their last five.

West Ham, meanwhile, have been in mixed form and drew 2-2 at Leicester at the weekend, with Craig Dawson salvaging a point for the Hammers in injury time.

That result kept David Moyes’ side in fifth place ahead of this meeting with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, who beat Aston Villa 1-0 last time out thanks to a free-kick from Kieran Trippier – who then went off injured.

Here’s all you need to know about today’s game.

Following the controversy around his cat-kicking incident last week, Kurt Zouma withdrew from West Ham’s line-up to face Leicester due to illness. The centre-back could return for the Hammers here, however.

For Newcastle, Trippier will be out for a few weeks at least as he recovers from a fracture in his foot, while fellow defender Javier Manquillo is also expected to miss out. Striker Callum Wilson remains a long-term absentee.
