Overview
- West Ham trail Tottenham by two points with two matches left, so the trip to St James' Park carries major consequences for survival.
- Bookmakers list Newcastle as favorites for the match and price West Ham at short odds for relegation, while Football365 tips a home win with both teams to score.
- Newcastle face key absences with Anthony Gordon a doubt after a hip injury and Fabian Schär, Emil Krafth and Tino Livramento unavailable, though Lewis Hall is back.
- Kieran Trippier is set for his final home appearance for Newcastle as his contract expires at season’s end.
- Nuno Espírito Santo has close to a full West Ham squad, with only Adama Traoré out injured and a recent run of three away games without a goal raising concern.
