Despite the defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup this week, there is a growing feeling of positivity surrounding West Ham United under David Moyes.

West Ham have taken seven points from their past three Premier League games, which included victories against Chelsea and Stoke City, and they are up to 15th place in the table.

There is certainly still much more work for West Ham to do in their quest to avoid relegation, but they can take another step forward when they host Newcastle United this weekend.

Without a Premier League victory since October, Newcastle have lost their last four top flight fixtures and appear devoid of confidence.

This game is perfectly timed for West Ham to secure another three points and continue gaining momentum under Moyes’ guidance.

Despite the return of Jamaal Lascelles from injury, Newcastle are vulnerable at the back, while they are also weak in midfield.

Dwight Gayle offers a threat up front, but, beyond that, there isn’t much to fear for West Ham.

If they are spirited and well organised, then West Ham can certainly prevail against Newcastle and potentially push even higher up the table.
