Newcastle vs West Ham: How to watch, TV channel and kick-off time
Newcastle welcome a West Ham United side desperate for three points on Sunday, with the battle for survival going down to the wire.
After climbing out of the bottom three last month, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been thrown back in, with two points separating them and Tottenham.
It has been a rough few weeks for the Hammers, who have fallen to successive defeats against Brentford and Arsenal.
As a result, they occupy the final spot in the drop zone with two to go.
Desperate for a win on Sunday, they make the trip up to Tyneside in need of a late resurgence.

A win would transform relegation battle heading into final week
With the Hammers playing before Spurs, the chance is there to make a statement that could have a big say in the battle at the bottom.
Should West Ham beat Newcastle, the pressure will then be on Tottenham to respond at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
Though, a loss could be devastating, handing Spurs the chance to deal the final blow and condemn the Irons to the second tier.
Against a Newcastle side with not much to play for, Nuno’s side must make the most of the opportunity presented to them.
A win on Tyneside would mean that the battle will most certainly go to the final day.
While the chance is also there to leapfrog their London rivals, with a view of staying there should Roberto De Zerbi and Tottenham suffer a loss against Chelsea.
