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.
