Newcastle Preview – Can Magpies pick up where they left off?
If you listened to all of the constant grumblings around St James’ Park you’d be forgiven for thinking Newcastle United only just avoided relegation last season but in truth, The Magpies finished the season in 12th place on the Premier League ladder.
Three wins from their final four games of the season did help to lift the north-east club into a more respectable posItion thanks to wins against Leicester City, Sheffield United and Fulham, although the latter two results were against eventually relegated sides.
Inconsistency again held Newcastle back from achieving a top half finish last term but The Magpies were a stubborn outfit at home towards the end of the campaign, losing just two of their last eight games and included a 3-2 win against today’s visitors, West Ham.
West Ham Preview – Can Hammers continue last season’s heroics?
West Ham produced a 6th place finish at the end of last season’s Premier League campaign in what was The Hammers’ highest finish in the top flight for many a year under manager, David Moyes, who returned for a second spell at the club.
West Ham won three of their last five games of the season to secure a top six spot and a place in this season’s inaugural Europa Conference League, and the visitors capped a successful season off by winning back-to-back matches at the end of the season against West Brom and Southampton.
West Ham were also reasonable away from home too as The Hammers lost just three of their last 12 matches on their travels, two of which were handed to them by both of the Manchester clubs which is no disgrace.
