Two changes as £85m duo drop out – Official Newcastle United team to face West Ham

The team sheets are in at the London Stadium, where Newcastle United taken on West Ham in a bid to make it four straight wins in the Premier League.

Here’s the starting line-up Eddie Howe has gone with:

STARTING XI: Pope – Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn – Longstaff, Bruno, Joelinton – Murphy, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.

SUBS: Dubravka, Lascelles, Gordon, Ritchie, Targett, Isak, Manquillo, Willock, Anderson.

Callum Wilson returns to the starting 11 alongside Joelinton, with the pair replacing Alexander Isak and Joe Willock.

Isak is being managed carefully – he started twice for Sweden over the international break and was always unlikely to start three games in six days after that – while Willock is on the bench; a precautionary move after he limped off on Sunday holding his hamstring.

Here’s the Hammers side David Moyes has selected, seeing Michail Antonio replace Danny Ings in attack.

West Ham XI: Fabianski – Kehrer, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson – Rice, Soucek, Paqueta – Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma.

Subs: Downes, Cresswell, Ings, Fornals, Aréola, Coufal, Ogbonna, Cornet, Lanzini.

HWTL!
