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.

West Ham United vs Newcastle United
This game could have huge ramifications at both ends of the Premier League table, with relegation-threatened West Ham taking on Champions League-chasing Newcastle. West Ham eased the pressure on boss David Moyes with a 1-0 win over Southampton on Sunday, and they enter this game outside the relegation zone by virtue of their goal difference, albeit with two games in hand on their fellow strugglers. A victory here would move them as high as 12th.
