West Ham Form
Newcastle Form
Date: Sunday, 2 November 2025
Kick-off: 14:00 GMT
Venue: London Stadium
Sunday’s Premier League clash at the London Stadium sees West Ham host Newcastle in what promises to be a fascinating battle between two teams desperate for consistency. The match kicks off at 14:00 GMT and both sides come into this one with contrasting form and plenty of talking points.
West Ham are searching for stability under Nuno Espírito Santo, while Eddie Howe’s Newcastle look to build on recent flashes of promise. Let’s take a closer look at where this game might be won or lost.
West Ham Team News
Nuno Espírito Santo will be missing Konstantinos Mavropanos, who’s sidelined with a hamstring issue. There are also question marks over Oliver Scarles (shoulder) and Niclas Füllkrug (muscle), both of whom face late fitness tests.
Aside from those concerns, the rest of the squad is ready to go. West Ham will be hoping Lucas Paquetá and Jarrod Bowen can rediscover their spark after a tough few weeks in front of goal.
Newcastle Team News
Eddie Howe’s side have a few injury clouds hanging over them too. Tino Livramento remains out with a knee problem, while Harrison Ashby (thigh), Lewis Hall (hamstring), Yoane Wissa (knee), and Sven Botman (knock) are all doubts.
Still, Newcastle have shown good depth. The likes of Bruno Guimarães, Anthony Gordon, and Nick Woltemade have been crucial recently, and they’ll again be key to Newcastle’s hopes of taking all three points.
West Ham (3-4-3):
Aréola (GK); Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo; Scarles (if fit), Irving, Souček, Diouf; Summerville, Paquetá, Bowen.
West Ham will try to keep things compact at the back while relying on Bowen and Paquetá’s creativity to spark attacks. Irving’s engine in midfield could be vital in linking play and disrupting Newcastle’s rhythm.
Newcastle (4-3-3):
Pope (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman (if fit), Burn; Guimarães, Miley, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Gordon.
Newcastle’s back four, led by Trippier and Thiaw, will be under pressure to contain West Ham’s counter-attacks. Expect Guimarães and Joelinton to drive the play through midfield, with Gordon’s pace and Woltemade’s movement stretching the home defence.
West Ham’s recent run — four defeats in five — speaks volumes. They’ve struggled to convert chances and haven’t won at home in nine league matches. Still, they’ll be fighting hard to end that streak.
Newcastle, meanwhile, arrive in better spirits after a cup win over Tottenham and some solid Premier League displays. They’ve scored in each of their last six games, showing resilience and confidence going forward.
This could turn into a tactical chess match — West Ham’s organised shape versus Newcastle’s higher pressing and quicker transitions. Expect plenty of midfield duels, especially between Andrew Irving and Joelinton, and some intriguing one-on-ones like Paquetá vs Thiaw.
Prediction: Newcastle’s greater consistency might just edge it.
Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.
Correct Score Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Newcastle
West Ham are likely to find the net through Bowen or Paquetá, but Newcastle’s forward line, particularly Gordon and Woltemade, could make the difference. A late goal might seal the deal for the visitors.
Correct Score Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Newcastle. Bet with bet365.
So, while the game could open up late on, it feels like a balanced contest rather than a high-scoring thriller.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
This combo keeps things realistic and still offers decent value, especially given Gordon’s recent form and Newcastle’s attacking consistency.
Bet Builder Tip: Both Teams to Score – Yes, Anthony Gordon to Score Anytime, and Newcastle to Win or Draw. Bet with bet365.
