West Ham United will be hoping to reclaim that much revered fourth spot when they host Newcastle United as part of the weekend's Premier League TV schedule.

Man United's victory on Tuesday evening knocked the Hammers back down to fifth but the Saturday lunchtime kick-off will give David Moyes' team the chance to leapfrog them once again, even if just until Sunday.

The hosts have been wobbling a little of late, winning just one of their last four league games, and now come up against a Newcastle side with newfound confidence.

Eddie Howe's men have turned a corner in recent weeks and strung together three wins for the first time all season, beating Leeds United, Everton, and Aston Villa.

A trip to the London Stadium is their toughest test since the start of that run, though, and they'll head to the capital without talisman Kieran Trippier, who is set for six weeks on the sidelines with a broken foot.

West Ham v Newcastle prediction

Craig Dawson's injury-time equaliser papered over a limited performance against Leicester City last weekend but you'd expect West Ham to have extra motivation on Saturday as they look to regain fourth spot.

The injuries to Trippier and Javier Manquillo may force Howe to shift away from the 4-3-3 that has been so successful in recent weeks, with Ryan Fraser dropping in as a right wing-back.

The current momentum is with Newcastle but it would not be a surprise to see them come unstuck against the Hammers without the talismanic Trippier.

Our prediction: West Ham 2-1 Newcastle (8/1 at bet365)
