Good Attacking Performance
The Hammers have a good scoring record this season, with 44 netted so far. This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Jarrod Bowen (3), Pablo Fornals (1), and Craig Dawson (1). The Hammers have conceded 33 goals.
David Moyes will be forced to make changes to the plans for his squad, as injury or illness has depleted him of two of his The Hammers players.

Newcastle United will have secured 24 points so far this season, should they secure a win.
