West Ham United vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow all the action from London Stadium

(AP)

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:

Howe, meanwhile, makes two changes to the side which started Sunday's victory over Manchester United. Isak is replaced by Wilson – who came on to head the Magpies' second goal last time out – in attack. In midfield, Joelinton replaces Willock, who was withdrawn from their last game with a knock.

Moyes makes just one change from the team which began Sunday's win over Southampton, and it comes in attack as Antonio replaces Ings. Antonio has three goals in his last four appearances in all competitions, netting in a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest in February and scoring twice in a 2-0 Europa Conference League win at AEK Larnaca.

West Ham United vs Newcastle United

Newcastle, meanwhile, claimed a huge 2-0 victory over Manchester United last time out, a result which saw them leapfrog the Red Devils into third. Eddie Howe's men have since seen fellow top-four contenders Tottenham and Liverpool drop points, and a win here would give them a three-point advantage over those immediately outside the Champions League places.
