This game could be the turning point in our season. A huge win against Cardiff City has brought us up and out of the relegation zone and another win today could bring us right up the table!
It will be no easy task though, Newcastle are no push overs and their form of late has not been up to the standard of latter stages of 2013. Newcastle are yet to win in 2014 and are beginning to fall down the table.
The possible return of centre back James Collins could be vital after James Tompkins' sending off last week. Collins could help steady the ship that is our very unreliable defence. The return of Ravel Morrison to the starting line-up will also give more vision to the midfield (that is if big Sam decides to play him). Last but definitely not least Andy Carroll could possibly start his first game this season against his former club and home town Newcastle. Carroll seemed desperate to play in an interview last week after his strong return against Cardiff.
Things seem to be looking up for West Ham. Injured players are returing. There is one player we will miss in todays game and that is Guy Demel. Joey O'Brien is definitely not a rock at right-back but hopefully he will have a big game today.
we have been without 'Captain Marvel' Kevin Nolan for several games now after two rather stupid red cards. In my opinion the hammers have played well without him. We played decent football against Cardiff and i just hope we can do it again today!
Newcastle are without their captain Fabricio Coloccini who is still out injured and full back Mathieu Debuchy who serves the last of his three match ban today.
K.O: 3pm, Venue: Upton Park, Referee: Andre Mariner
COYI!!
