West Ham, who are slight underdogs on UK betting sites, have started to make things click under Graham Potter with two straight wins in the Premier League.
The Hammers picked up a 1-0 win away to Arsenal before beating Leicester 2-0 at the London Stadium and ended a run of four matches without a win.
Star man, Lucas Paqueta, is currently dealing with an FA investigation into possible betting breaches and the Brazilian is also recovering from a slight ankle injury.
Newcastle are dealing with a slightly less impressive run of form, losing three of their last five matches in all competitions which includes two-straight defeats.
The Magpies were beaten 2-1 by Brighton after extra time in the FA Cup which was made worse after Anthony Gordon was sent off and the Englishman will now miss three matches including the Carabao Cup final.
