The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Newcastle United are in the 13th position while the guesting West Ham United worry at 16th.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Moyes when Andriy Yarmolenko scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute.
