Former Premier League forwards Paul Merson and Chris Sutton have disagreed in their predictions for West Ham United’s trip to Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
The Hammers, who have only won once in the Premier League away from home all season, head to St James’ Park hoping to record back-to-back league wins for only the second time in the 2022/23 campaign. Ahead of the fixture, former top-flight winning forwards Merson and Sutton have both given their predictions.
Merson, who won the title with Arsenal during his playing career, has remained optimistic for West Ham, despite their poor season. Speaking with SportsKeeda, Merson is predicting West Ham to hold the Magpies to a goalless draw.
