West Ham United vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
The Hammers remain in relegation trouble despite beating Southampton at the weekend; they sit 15th but the congested bottom half means they are only outside the drop zone on goal difference. A positive result against a top-four opponent would be a massive boost to their survival hopes therefore, though even after this fixture they have another game in hand on those around them.
As for the Magpies, Eddie Howe will hope the big weekend performance in beating Man United is replicated to keep their Champions League hopes firmly on track. Newcastle are third, though will drop to fourth if the Red Devils get a better result than them tonight.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

West Ham United vs Newcastle United
A chorus of boos greats the final whistle. Newcastle United have thrashed West Ham 5-1 on their own ground! The Hammers looked to be in with a chance of salvaging something when Zouma halved the deficit following early strikes from Wilson and Joelinton. However, the game shifted following a moment of madness from Aguerd, who was caught in possession to gift Wilson his second goal after the break. Newcastle were excellent from there on, with Isak punishing another mistake from Fabianksi with a cultured lob, before Joelinton sealed his brace at the death. Newcastle continue their pursuit of Champions League football, while West Ham remain in danger.
