Last season’s meeting between Newcastle and West Ham was one of the games of the season, with Eddie Howe’s team coming from 3-1 down to win 4-3 at St James’ Park.

Key to that comeback was Harvey Barnes, who scored twice from the bench. He has an impressive record against West Ham too.

He’s either scored or assisted in each of his last four against West Ham (4 goals, 1 assist) and has scored in each of the last three.

One change for Newcastle as Lloyd Kelly replaces the suspended Dan Burn in defence. There’s the same midfield and attack, with Joelinton joining Alexsander Isak and Anthony Gordon.

One change for West Ham too, with Carlos Soler coming into midfield. Michail Antonio keeps his place in attack.

Newcastle XI: Pope, Livramento, Schar, Kelly, Hall; Willock, Longstaff; Guimaraes; Joelinton, Isak, Gordon

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Soler, Soucek, Paqueta, Summerville, Antonio; Bowen.

The line-ups should be announced in five minutes, so here’s a reminder of the early team news…

Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth remain out, while Dan Burn is suspended. Kieran Tripper and Callum Wilson both need fitness tests for the hosts.

West Ham also have suspensions with Mohammed Kudus and Edson Alvarez banned, while Niclas Fullkrug remains injured.

Newcastle have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League games against West Ham and are unbeaten in all five meetings under Eddie Howe, winning two and drawing three.

In addition, the Hammers have not kept a clean sheet in any of the past 10 top-flight meetings.

However, Lopetegui’s side have scored a total of 15 goals in their six most recent Premier League games at St James’ Park.

Tonight will be the 114th meeting between these two sides. Overall, Newcastle have won 48, West Ham have won 36, and 29 have ended as draws.

The last meeting between these two produced an entertaining 4-3 win for the Magpies in March, while the two teams drew 2-2 in east London last season.

Lopetegui took over from David Moyes in the summer but has seen his side win just three Premier League games and also dumped out of the Carabao Cup after a 5-1 defeat at Liverpool.

NEW – Pope, Livramento, Schar, Kelly, Hall, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock, Gordon, Isak, Joelinton.

WHU – Fabianski, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Rodriguez, Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Summerville, Antonio.

Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth remain out, while Dan Burns is suspended. Kieran Tripper and Callum Wilson both need fitness tests for the hosts.
