To Win (90mins)

West Ham 2/1 

Draw 24/10

Newcastle 27/20

Big Sam welcomes his old employers to East London this weekend, with the blood still coursing through his veins following The Hammers much-needed win in Cardiff.

Newcastle find themselves in a mini-slump, having lost four on the trot in all competitions.

It is another ex-employee that may return to haunt them, with Andy Carroll’s long-awaited return providing a boost for Big Sam.

Sporting a beard sculpted in Sparta, Carroll may look meaner than ever, but we all know that he’s still the same player Liverpool wasted £35 million on.

These sides met twice in 2013, with no goals to show for it.

Betting Prediction: DRAW 24/10

I suspect a low-scorer here, with West Ham happy to make off with another valuable point.
