Struggling West Ham take on Newcastle this afternoon in desperate need of Premier League points with a relegation battle already looming.

The Irons are sat in 19th and four points adrift of safety having lost seven of their nine league games so far. Their only win came against now-manager Nuno's Nottingham Forest and his arrival has not led to an upturn. 

They have lost their first four home games - a first in their history - and Eddie Howe will view the trip to the London Stadium as a perfect chance to gain a first league win on the road this season. His side are on a three-game winning run across all competitions and will be confident of extending that here. 

Will Newcastle march on or can West Ham finally end their London misery today? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips, predictions and odds. 

West Ham or Newcastle: Who wins?

It's near-impossible to back West Ham to get a result in any game right now and that isn't changing here. The Irons have let in a staggering 12 goals in four home league games this season and the atmosphere at the London Stadium is currently toxic given the fan revolt against the owners. 

An early Newcastle goal could see this get ugly and the Magpies should end their winless away record in comfortable style here. The Magpies would move up to 12th by taking a point today but we think they'll get all three.

West Ham v Newcastle: Score 

Newcastle have scored just nine goals in their nine league games so far but they have been prolific in the Champions League and League Cup. 

This is their best chance of rectifying their league record and with Germany international Nick Woltemade in stunning form since his arrival, the Magpies should be in the goals here. 

A comfortable away win feels the only outcome. 

Prediction: West Ham 0-3 Newcastle (12/1 with Bet365)
