It was a foul on Gunners goalkeeper David Raya for their goal which was disallowed, and the fact they are in the relegation zone is because of the way they have played all season. Now this is an enormous game for the Hammers, and it is an absolutely 'must-win' for them. Newcastle were very poor when they lost at London Stadium in November and you wouldn't say they are in much better form at the moment.
Magpies boss Eddie Howe realises the importance of finishing the season strongly for his own future, and I don't see his side losing this. West Ham will be absolutely desperate to get the win, but I am going for a draw and, if anyone does win it, it will be Newcastle. 15:30Wilson's big chanceBy Harry BamforthI didn't see this coming, I have to say.
Callum Wilson has not been Nuno Espirito Santo's favourite striker since the Portuguese boss came into the club, despite the big goals he has scored. But in not only West Ham's biggest match of the season, but arguably of the decade , Espirito Santo turns to Wilson to lead the line. It's a huge call, and one that I think is a smart one.
Wilson made a huge difference when coming on against Arsenal last week, and was unlucky not to see his equaliser count in the end. He deserved a spot in the side today. Can he deliver against his former employers? I mean, on his day, Wilson can cause anybody problems.
It's a massive opportunity for him, and one he needs to take. 15:26West Ham Team News - Wilson STARTSBy Harry BamforthWell, well, well... Nuno Espirito Santo makes just one change from the defeat to Arsenal, but it's a big one. Callum Wilson comes in for Taty Castellenos to start against his former side Newcastle. A huge call. 15:25Newcastle Team News - THREE changesBy Harry BamforthEddie Howe has made three changes from the side that drew at Nottingham Forest last week.
Nick Woltemade keeps his place in attacking midfield, but Jacob Ramsey and Harvey Barnes come in on either side of him. Kieran Trippier also comes in at full-back, with Dan Burn dropping to the bench. Happy, Geordies? 15:21Now or never By Harry Bamforth'Gotta be right now, right now.
' West Ham should be blasting out Halsey's Now or Never on repeat as they arrive at St. James' Park. It's the perfect tune to motivate them ahead of this huge match. Also, it's a banger, isn't it? Those West Ham players know what they need to do: win, and no less.
If they don't, they will know they are doomed for the drop. Newcastle have nothing to play for, so while this is a tough fixture, it's the best time for West Ham to play it. It really is now or never for Nuno Espirito Santo and his players. 15:18Around the groundsBy Harry BamforthBefore we get stuck into the build-up for this game, I think we should take a look at what is going in the 3pm kick-offs.
It's fair to say there is a lot going on in the Premier League. A big day. Here are the latest scores: 15:15Hammer time for West HamBy Harry BamforthIt's do or die for West Ham United. Their Premier League status is on the line this afternoon; they simply can't afford to drop points.
If they do, Nuno Espirito Santo may as well start preparing for life in the Championship. Well, that's if he even wants to stay. The Hammers sit two points behind Tottenham in the battle for survival, who don't play again until Tuesday, when they face fierce rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. So, if West Ham can beat Newcastle today, they will sit clear of the bottom three for at least a couple of days.
That's easier said than done, mind. Eddie Howe's side might not quite be the same team they used to be, but they are still a tough side to face at St. James' Park. Anyway, I think we have outlined the magnitude of this match enough, don't you? So, let's get cracking. Key UpdatesTOP STORIES
