Predicted Newcastle XI vs West Ham: Bruce to make two changes, 24-yr-old to start
Newcastle United take on West Ham United in the Premier League later today and the Magpies will be hoping to build on their win over Burnley last time out. Steve Bruce’s side are 17th in the Premier League table and their position in the Premier League is not safe yet. They will be up against an in-form West Ham side and the Magpies will have to be at their best to grind out a result here. Newcastle have an excellent head to head record against the Hammers and they have managed to win three and draw one of the last four meetings with the London side. The last time these two sides met, Newcastle picked up a 2-0 win away from home and they will be hoping for more of the same later today. The Magpies have drawn their last three Premier League home matches and it will be interesting to fe...
Predicted West Ham XI v Newcastle: Moyes to make one change, 21-yr-old to start
West Ham United have picked up two consecutive wins in the Premier League against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City. They will be hoping to make it three in a row when they take on Newcastle United later today. The Hammers were beaten by the Magpies earlier on in the season and the Londoners will be out for revenge this time. This is a glorious opportunity for the Hammers to consolidate their place in the top four with a win and they cannot afford to drop points here. David Moyes’ side are fourth in the table right now and a win here would take them into the top three. The likes of Jesse Lingard and Jarrod Bowen are in exceptional form right now and the Londoners will fancy their chances against any side in the division. The visitors will be without the services of Darren Randolph...
Newcastle boss Steve Bruce names his Premier League manager of the year
Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has named West Ham United counterpart David Moyes as his Premier League manager of the year ahead of their clash this weekend. Bruce has battled relegation for most of this season, with Newcastle floating just above the bottom three in recent weeks. The 2-1 win against Burnley went a long way to confirming Newcastle’s safety for next season, but he faces a West Ham side with aspirations of Champions League football this weekend. Under the management of the former Everton and Manchester United boss, the Hammers have had a sensational campaign. Currently above both Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League table, West Ham have a realistic chance of securing a top-four spot. Now, ahead of West Ham’s meeting with Newcastle this weekend, Bruce has named Moyes...

Trevor Sinclair’s three-word reaction as NUFC star claims Hammers squad isn’t better than Magpies’
Newcastle United host West Ham United on Saturday and both teams will be playing for two different objectives. The Magpies are battling for Premier League safety with just a place and six points between them and the relegation zone. BY contrast, the Hammers are aiming to qualify for the Champions League and can move to third place with a victory. Newcastle finished three places and five points above West Ham in the top-flight last season, but both teams are not on the same level this season. The Hammers made a couple of quality additions to their squad during the summer and winter transfer windows, and that has made all the difference. Manager David Moyes has also got his side playing well and better than they did last term, but the same cannot be said of Newcastle. Steve Bruce is not popu...
‘Massive own goal’ – Luke Edwards reacts as NUFC takeover revelations emerge
According to Sportsmail, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to intervene in his Kingdom’s plans to buy Newcastle United after it was blocked by the Premier League. Saudi’s Public Investment Fund, PCP Capital Partners owner Amanda Staveley and the Reuben Brothers were looking to seal a £300 million takeover of the St James’ Park outfit a year ago. However, they eventually withdrew from the process after 16 weeks of rigorous Owners and Directors Test. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is still hoping that a deal can be revived as he is determined to sell the club. The businessman is waiting for an arbitration hearing against the Premier League in a bid to have the takeover approved, and the new revelation will be of interest to Magpies support...
Rangers and Southampton could compete to sign 26-year-old Premier League winger
Rangers and Southampton are interested in landing the signature of Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy during the summer transfer window, Football Insider reports. Murphy joined the Magpies from Norwich City in 2017, but he has made just 64 appearances while spending time on loan with West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday. He has been in-and-out of the starting line-up this season but has been good for them from the right-wing/right wing-back role with three goals and three assists from 24 appearances in all competitions. As per Football Insider, Murphy’s contract with the Magpies expires in June next year, contradicting the timescale stated by other sources. Rangers and Southampton are interested in the winger, who could be available for £3 million if a contract renewal is not agr...
Predicted Newcastle XI vs Burnley: Bruce to make five changes, 29-yr-old to start
Newcastle United travel to Burnley for their Premier League game this weekend, and the Magpies will be desperate to pick up three points. Steve Bruce’s side have not won any of their last six Premier League matches and need to start picking up points if they want to avoid relegation this season. Fulham crashed to a defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night, and this is a glorious opportunity for the Magpies to pull clear of the Londoners with a victory. A victory would send them six points clear of 18th placed Fulham, and the players will be eager to step up and get the job done. Newcastle beat Burnley back in October, but their recent away form doesn’t bode well for their chances at Turf Moor. The Magpies have failed to score in seven of their last nine away league games, but Call...
‘Brilliant’, ‘Lifeline’ – Some Newcastle fans react to Traore’s winning goal vs Fulham
Wolverhampton Wanderers handed Newcastle United a major survival boost with their late win over Fulham last night. Spanish winger Adama Traore scored the winning goal of the game deep into injury-time, and Fulham remain three points adrift of Newcastle in the table. A win this week could send the Magpies six points clear of Fulham and make a big difference in the relegation battle. The Magpies will be desperate to beat the drop this season, and they will be keen to cash in at Burnley this weekend. Newcastle have been inconsistent in recent weeks, but the draw against Tottenham Hotspur in their last game will have given them some belief. Callum Wilson’s return to the starting XI could make a big difference for Steve Bruce’s side. Allan Saint-Maximin may also feature against Burnley. Relegat...

Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock has been on loan at Newcastle United since the end of January, and the 21-year-old has been quite impressive for the Magpies.
