Newcastle are one of two clubs yet to drop a point from a winning position in the Premier League this season, along with leaders Liverpool. In fact, the Magpies have won their past 10 league matches in which they have led – their longest such run since 11 in a row from February to August 2006.

Newcastle have used fewer players (19) than any other side in the Premier League this season, while only Crystal Palace (four) have had fewer players score for them (excluding own goals) in the division than the Magpies’ five.

Meanwhile, Alexander Isak has scored in all three of his Premier League games against West Ham, netting twice in both meetings in 2023-24. No Newcastle player has scored more than one goal in three consecutive Premier League games against one team, while no player has ever done so against the Hammers.
