Why you should back Newcastle United
Callum Wilson has feasted against West Ham over his career. The 31-year-old striker has scored more Premier League goals (10) against the Hammers than he has against any other opponent. When these teams met on Feb. 4, Wilson scored Newcastle’s only goal in a 1-1 draw.
In addition, the Magpies have had success going on the road to London this season. Newcastle have not lost any of their four Premier League trips to London this season (two wins and two draws). That includes a scoreless draw against top-of-the-table Arsenal on Jan. 3.
Why you should back West Ham
Declan Rice has become one of the best players in the Premier League. The 24-year-old midfielder earned the captain’s armband for the Hammers this season and has two goals and four assists in 27 Premier League games. Because of his play in recent seasons, Rice reportedly will draw interest from Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool in the upcoming summer transfer window.
In addition, West Ham will be highly motivated entering the match. The Hammers are fighting to avoid relegation with just 27 points on the season. They cannot afford a slip-up with less than two months remaining in the season.
