West Ham’s victory over the Saints could prove to be pivotal in the battle for survival. The Hammers secured all three points against the rock-bottom side courtesy of Nayef Aguerd’s lone goal mid-way through the first-half. It was David Moyes’s side’s seventh league-win of the season. The result extended their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions, picking up three wins and one draw along the way. Meanwhile, West Ham’s home-form in the league has been pretty good this term, collecting 21 points from 14 matches at the London Stadium. The Hammers also managed to secure a 1-1 draw against the Magpies in the reverse fixture in February, thanks to Lucas Paqueta’s equaliser.
After enduring a five-game winless streak across February and March, Newcastle have rediscovered their early-season form in recent weeks, recording three consecutive wins to reignite their top-four hopes. Last time out, Eddie Howe’s side outplayed and outclassed Manchester United at St. James’ Park to secure all three points thanks to second-half efforts from Joe Willock and Callum Wilson. The Magpies dominated the proceedings in front their own supporters, recording 22 shots with six of them on target, compared to just a solitary shot on target by the Red Devils. It was Newcastle’s 13th league-win of the season, while eight of them have come at At St. James’ Park. The Magpies have been solid at home soil, losing only one of their 14 league-matches at St. James’ Park, while collecting 29 points in that process.
