The Premier League returns after the international break, and St James' Park will be buzzing on Saturday lunchtime as Newcastle United host West Ham United. Kickoff is at 12:30 PM UTC, and both teams are looking to solidify their positions in the top half of the table.
Newcastle United, nicknamed "The Magpies," come into the match after a disappointing FA Cup quarter-final loss to Manchester City. They'll be eager to bounce back in the Premier League and keep their push for a top-seven finish alive. Miguel Almirón and Allan Saint-Maximin will be their main attacking threats, hoping to create chances and score goals in front of their home fans.
West Ham United, nicknamed "The Hammers," also come into the match without a win, having drawn their previous Premier League game against Aston Villa. They'll be looking to return to winning ways and maintain their challenge for a European spot. Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen will be key figures in their attack, aiming to exploit any weaknesses in the Newcastle defense and steal valuable points away from home.
