Prediction published on 20/12/2017, 16:40  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Straight from their 0 – 1 loss to Arsenal in the League Cup on Tuesday 19th December, West Ham United will be turning their attention to the Premier League where they will take on Newcastle United, and having struggled for much of the season so far, they will want to take advantage of playing at home. Newcastle on their part, have also not had a good time in the season. Their return to the league sees them etched in the relegation region after 18 matches and the likelihood that manager Rafa Benitez could be relieved of his duties increases with every loss. The team put up a good show in their last game but still lost 0 – 1 to Arsenal and heading to this game they can only bank on their fine run over West Ham, which has seen them win four of the last six meetings between the two sides. West Ham head to the game on two wins, two losses and a draw in their last five matches. Playing at home, they have one win, two draws and two losses, scoring just three goals and conceding eight. The Hammers have five wins in their last 10 matches at home. In the Premier League, they have two wins in their last 11 matches and at home, they have managed four wins in their last 10. Newcastle, on the other hand, have gone winless in their last nine matches – losing eight and drawing one. They have four losses and a draw in their last five matches and playing away from home Newcastle have managed just two wins in the last 11. In their last five away matches, they have lost four and drawn one, scoring four and conceding 11. Newcastle have one win in their last 13 matches and in the Premier League, they have registered just one win in their last 20 away matches. Head to head, the two sides have faced off 99 times before, and West Ham have won 33 while Newcastle have managed 41 wins.
