Newcastle United host West Ham United as the Premier League returns following the international break.
Eddie Howe’s Magpies will hope to pick up form in the closing weeks of the season after just two wins in their last six matches in all competitions.
While David Moyes’ side are also desperate for the points after just one win in their last four games across all competitions.
It was an entertaining 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at the London Stadium earlier this season.

Assist Jarrod Bowen
Goal Mohammed Kudus
This has turned into a bit of a basketball match in first-half added time, with both sides throwing caution to the wind in their pursuit of the third goal of the game.
Just seconds after Guimaraes hit the bar, Kudus looks to be through on goal until Burn nudges him over. The referee rules it a fair shoulder-to-shoulder challenge, much to Moyes' disbelief.
OFF THE BAR!!! Newcastle are inches away from going 2-1 up, as Murphy rolls the ball back for Guimaraes to shoot from range. The midfielder nearly gets it spot on as the ball looks set to crash into the top right corner, but the Brazil international's shot instead cannons off the upright and deflects away from danger. So close for the hosts!
Willock cannot seriously trouble Areola with a shot from 25 yards out, with the West Ham goalkeeper able to make a comfortable save from the Newcastle man's tame effort.
There will be 10 minutes of additional time at the end of this first half. That's not your typical amount of first-half stoppage time, though it's perhaps understandable with the VAR delay for Newcastle's penalty and the lengthy pause for Lascelles' injury.
Mavropanos makes an absolutely vital interception to hook clear Murphy's cross before the lurking Isak can nod goalwards behind him. That was a potentially goal-saving intervention from the former Arsenal man.
West Ham are struggling to get up the pitch at the moment. Antonio is looking increasingly isolated as the visitors try and make it to the break with the scoreline at 1-1.
Soucek receives the first booking of the game for bowling over Guimaraes in midfield.
