Newcastle United supporters make Anthony Gordon and Joelinton decision for West Ham

Newcastle United fans want Eddie Howe to keep the same starting XI for a fourth game in row when they take on West Ham United at the London Stadium tonight.

The Magpies head to the capital on the bank of three important wins in their bid to finish in the Premier League top four and qualify for the Champions League. Sunday's 2-0 success over Manchester United was one of their best performances of the season, so it's no surprise that supporters want to see the same starting XI.

That means no place in the side for Joelinton, Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon, with all three coming off the bench to good effect on Sunday. Wilson scored the crucial second goal from a free-kick won by Gordon, while Brazilian midfielder Joelinton hit the crossbar with a header.

Howe knows he must consider the amount of games on the horizon, with Brentford up next on Saturday, followed by a trip in in-form Aston Villa, so could be tempted to rotate some of his squad tonight or at the weekend.

Fans want Allan Saint-Maximin to continue his marauding role tonight, with Alexander Isak given the nod up front, with the Swede in excellent form now he has shaken off any fitness issues following his lengthy injury lay-off.

Team news tonight will land at 7pm, and you can follow the game as it happens in our live blog here, with expert opinion and analysis throughtout the evening.

Newcastle United fans XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock; Murphy, Saint-Maxmin, Isak.
