Howe to make one change? - Predicted Newcastle side to face West Ham tonight

With tonight's match to the London Stadium just a few hours away, it's time to predict which side Eddie Howe will select against West Ham tonight.

Here's who we're backing to start in the 8pm kick-off, featuring one change:

(4-3-3): Pope – Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn – Longstaff, Bruno, Joelinton – Murphy, Isak, Saint-Maximin.

This could be a physical game. Combine that with Joe Willock’s hamstring scare and I think we might see the Brazilian replace Sunday’s star man in midfield.

Willock could’ve done damage in this fixture and may yet be OK to start, but I doubt Howe will take any risks if it was a hamstring tweak and not cramp.

Elsewhere, it remains to be seen if the likes of Saint-Maximin and Isak can play two games in four days, yet both were key to Sunday’s win and could terrorise Moyes’ side on the break. Wilson has a great record against West Ham and scored on Sunday, however, so I wouldn’t be shocked if he plays.

We also have Anthony Gordon and Elliot Anderson waiting in the wings, giving Howe some great options off the bench if Murphy or ASM start to fade.
