Confirmed West Ham United starting XI v Newcastle
West Ham United have confirmed their starting XI for the Premier League clash against Newcastle this afternoon.
The question marks have been surrounding Kurt Zouma after he missed out against Leicester last time out due to a so-called illness.
Confirmed on Twitter prior to kick-off, David Moyes has decided to make three changes with the likes of Zouma starting.
Moyes confirmed that there were some mystery knocks within the squad, which have been left unknown.
Looking at the squad, it looks as though they have been sorted out, although they may still need to be managed throughout.
Substitutes may be important, so let’s hope our bench can make a big impact if needed in games such as this one.
Must win.
It was critical to get that last-gasp equaliser at Leicester last week.
Despite not playing at our best, Craig Dawson managed to head, or arm, the ball past Kasper Schmeichel in the dying moments to bring back a point.
Losing would have been a real kick in the teeth in regards to our quest for Champions League qualification, so momentum is vital.
Now, Newcastle may have won their last three in the league, but they are still in a relegation dogfight and the Irons have to take advantage of that.
Kieran Trippier is out and that should be something we can exploit down our left, it is time to get stuck in.
Nothing short of three points will do, make sure it happens.
