West Ham vs Newcastle - Premier League LIVE: Latest score, team news and updates as the Magpies look to capitalise on misfiring Hammers

Eddie Howe makes six changes from the side that beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Pope, Botman, Joelinton, Gordon, Murphy, and Bruno Guimaraes all come into the fold.

Nuno makes three changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Leeds as Potts, Fernandes, and Wilson come in.

In this game last season, Newcastle came away with a 1-0 win thanks to Bruno Guimaraes' goal.

A few days later, they went on to beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

The visitors come into this one in stellar form.

Eddie Howe's men have won five of their last six games.

The only problem is that three of those wins have been outside the Premier League.

They've only won two of their last five in the Premier League and that leaves them 13th, though they can climb to 10th with three points here.

West Ham really need to stop the rot today.

They're now winless in six, and bringing in Nuno Espirito Santo hasn't brought an uptick yet.

He's lost three on the bounce after drawing his first game against Everton.

Hello all and welcome to Daily Mail Sport's live blog for West Ham's clash with Newcastle in the Premier League, kicking off at 2pm.

As always, points are the name of the game today and particularly for West Ham, who find themselves six points from safety already. Newcastle, meanwhile, are five points off the Champions League spots.
