West Ham can keep up their push for a European spot with a win up at Newcastle as the Premier League season resumes today.
While David Moyes continues to divide opinion during what could be his final season in charge of the club, things improved for him before the international break.
The Hammers fought back from two goals down to claim a draw with Burnley before making light work of Freiburg in the Europa League to progress into the quarter-finals and drawing with high-flying Aston Villa.
They are only three points of the top six and boast a four-point lead over Eddie Howe’s side, though a home victory would see competition for continental qualification get even more intense.
Still, the Magpies remain hugely inconsistent and beset by injuries, so West Ham should feel confident.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
