West Ham are looking for a marked improvement upon the return of Premier League action.
The Hammers head to a resurgent Newcastle on Monday in dire need of some momentum after a dreadful start to the season under Julen Lopetegui.
A big summer spend has yet to pay off and the Irons sit well below midtable after only three wins in their opening 11 League games.
Little about them inspired in the 0-0 draw with Everton before the international break and the pressure is certainly on amid reports Lopetegui’s future is already in doubt.
Newcastle had endured a frustrating start to the season themselves but have turned things around of late, winning their last three games across all competitions.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Newcastle vs West Ham team news
Magpies boss Eddie Howe is hoping to welcome back Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson from injury, while Lewis Miley is fit again.
Emil Krafth, however, has joined fellow defenders Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles on the sidelines following a broken collarbone. Dan Burn is suspended, meaning Lloyd Kelly is likely to come in alongside Fabian Schar in central defence.
West Ham are still waiting to see if summer signing Niclas Fullkrug can feature as he continues to try and recover from a prolonged Achilles tendon injury.
Edson Alvarez will be free from suspension, though Mohammed Kudus remains unavailable after he was hit with an additional two-game ban following his red card against Tottenham last month.
