Saturday 12.30pm: West Ham v Newcastle

TV: BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate

Will West Ham go 4th after this game? Yes, to put it in a nutshell. That’s harsh on Newcastle but I have taken a deep dive into this one. Newcastle have done very, very well with three successive Premier League wins, they’re four points clear of the bottom three.

Bringing these players in, in the January transfer window, has worked well for them. They’re unbeaten in five but West Ham at home, they’ve won five of their last eight Premier League games.

West Ham are one of only three sides to score in every home Premier League game. The other two? Aston Villa and Liverpool. They’re good at home so they will score.

If you want a goal scorer it’s Jarrod Bowen. He’s in absolutely teriffic form scoring seven goals in his last seven games. For me, West Ham to Win this game, Jarrod Bowen to Score Anytime and Both Teams to Score.
