Pundits disagree over 'tight' West Ham vs Newcastle United Premier League prediction

Chris Sutton and Mark Lawrenson have disagreed over Newcastle United's chances of claiming all three points in their Premier League clash with West Ham on Wednesday evening, with the latter believing that the hosts can prevent the Magpies from walking away victorious.

Newcastle will be looking to follow up their superb 2-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday with an equally dominant performance against West Ham. Victory for Eddie Howe's side would keep them in third place regardless of the result when the Red Devils and Brentford meet, also kicking-off at the same time.

West Ham were victorious over the weekend as well as they beat relegation rivals Southampton 1-0 at home. The Hammers will no doubt look for the same home advantage to help them put a dent in Newcastle's Champions League march.
