West Ham will face Newcastle United in the Premier League clash on Saturday.
Newcastle United are badly struggling at the moment, and they need wins under their belt to turn things around.
Rafael Benitez’s side haven’t won in their last nine games in all competitions, as a result the Magpies find themselves in the relegation zone.
The Spaniard is hoping for new additions in the January transfer window, but before that he needs to arrest this rapid downslide.
The Magpies travel to London to face West Ham who are on a three-game undefeated run in the Premier League.
The Hammers returned to winning ways earlier this month when they defeated London rivals Chelsea 1-0. They followed it up with a solid 0-0 draw against the Gunners, and are heading into this match on the back of a 3-0 win against Stoke City.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson says that David Moyes is doing a “great job” at West Ham, and that Newcastle could struggle to handle the inform Marko Arnautovic.
He predicts a 2-0 victory for the home side.
“Newcastle put in a good performance against Arsenal and were unlucky. You look at games like that and think ‘if you can play like that against Arsenal, why not against clubs lower down the league?’ You have to do it week-in-week-out, against teams around you,” said Merson to Sky Sports.
“West Ham are playing really well. They were outstanding against Stoke. I am not sure Newcastle will be able to handle Marko Arnautovic. David Moyes is doing a great job.”
