Midfield

Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes will anchor the midfield for the Magpies as they look to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Jacob Ramsey, Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes will play just ahead of them as part of the Newcastle attack. All three of them need to combine well in and around the West Ham penalty area if the Magpies are to secure a good result this weekend.

Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

William Osula will lead the charge for the Tyneside club up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat on the offensive third of the pitch.

Yoane Wissa will have to settle for a place on the bench as he waits for his opportunity to shine in the latter stages if needed.
