Confirmed lineups for West Ham v Newcastle fixture

West Ham will host Newcastle on Monday night in a crucial Premier League fixture at the London Stadium, set to kick off at 21.00 CET. Both teams are struggling for form ahead of Monday's match, with West Ham having won two, lost two, and drawn one of their last five matches.

The Hammers will be eager to build on their recent results and move away from the lower half of the table. Newcastle, however, have been in even worse shape, managing only two wins from their last five games across all competitions.

With three losses in the same period, the Magpies have been inconsistent, and they will be looking to turn their fortunes around as they fight to regain their place in the European spots.

A win for Newcastle could see them climb closer to the top six, which would put them in a strong position to secure a spot in European competition next season. In contrast, West Ham's primary aim will be to push towards mid-table as their hopes for a higher finish have been all but extinguished after a mixed season so far.

West Ham confirmed lineup: Areola (GK); Cresswell, Kilman, Todibo; Scarles, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Wan-Bissaka; Soucek, Kudus; Bowen.

Newcastle confirmed lineup: Pope (GK); Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak and Barnes.
