Newcastle United vs West Ham: Kick-off time, ref appointment, TV coverage, Sky Sports details & how to watch
Newcastle United face West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon
Newcastle United host West Ham at St. James’ Park this weekend in a clash that could have major implications for the Hammer’s Premier League survival bid.
With just two matches remaining, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side find themselves two points adrift of safety, and could be relegated if they lose to the Magpies and Tottenham Hotspur beat London rivals Chelsea on Tuesday night. If the Irons were to suffer defeat on Tyneside and Spurs subsequently drew their next match, Roberto de Zerbi’s men would effectively be safe due to a vastly superior goal difference.
For their part, Newcastle are currently 13th in the top flight table, and had to settle for a sharing of the spoils in their most recent outing, a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest. Their last clash with West Ham ended in a 3-1 defeat at the London Stadium back in November.
