Paul Merson has made his prediction for the Newcastle United vs West Ham United Premier League clash tomorrow.
West Ham are set to travel up to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle in the Premier League tomorrow, and Eddie Howe could potentially be without nine key players.
Paul Merson has made his prediction for the game with both teams desperate for points, as the race for the European spots heats up.
West Ham vs Newcastle all-time head-to-head:
- 43 West Ham wins
- 59 Newcastle wins
- 41 draws
The Hammers are currently sitting in seventh spot in the table, four points and three places ahead of the Toon.
David Moyes will be well aware that we can’t afford to lose tomorrow lunchtime, if he is to guide his side to a top seven finish this season.
Eddie Howe is surely thinking along the same lines, but who does Merson think will pick up a result tomorrow?
Paul Merson makes Newcastle vs West Ham prediction
The game at St James’ Park kicks-off tomorrow at 12:30pm, and it should be an absolute cracker of a match.
We have recent history of beating the Magpies in their own back yard, with a 4-2 win in 2021 and a 3-0 win in 2018.
In fact, Newcastle have failed to beat us at their home ground in the last three attempts, so there’s every reason to head into this one full of confidence.
Paul Merson made his prediction for the Premier League clash tomorrow when writing his regular column for Sportskeeda.
And Merse is backing a two-goal win for one team:
“Newcastle and West Ham have got to start somewhere when it comes to winning trophies. If that requires them to fight for a European spot, they need to work towards it and focus on getting the right results, especially in matches like these. With the fair play rules now in place, teams are realising that they can’t just rely on a massive cash injection to propel them to glory. We thought getting all that money would help Newcastle United turn things around massively, but that isn’t how it has panned out. Newcastle are languishing in 10th place in the Premier League table and need to start picking up points. They have had loads of injuries, but that’s the case with most other teams. Newcastle may not find this game comfortable, but I do expect them to win.”
Prediction Newcastle 2-0 West Ham
I actually think we can go to Tyneside and get a result tomorrow. Newcastle haven’t been at it this season, and they’re vulnerable if you ask me.
We have the players needed to really hurt Eddie Howe’s side, and as long as we don’t sit back and wait for the inevitable to happen, we’ll have a fighting chance.
Paul Merson has made the prediction that Newcastle will beat West Ham tomorrow but I’m not so sure. I reckon we might surprise a few people at St James’ Park.
