The Premier League Gameweek 28 is completed on Monday night, as West Ham takes over Newcastle on the London stadium.
Hammers were regularly on Monday night football this season, with both sides facing one Monday in November. Julen Lopetegui enjoyed one of the very few high points of West Ham St James’ Park as Aaron Wan-Bissaka starred in a surprise 2-0 win for visitors.
It was a harsh campaign for the eastern Londoners, but they are heading for their upcoming two consecutive victories in their upcoming rear. After disruption Arsenal In Emirates, West Ham relaxed Leicester 2-0 two-fifths. Despite the recent upgrade, the Graham Potter side will begin on Monday at 16.
Newcastle was the form team to finish in 2024, but they have suffered more matches in the new year. Eddie Howe men have lost three of the last four Premier League excursions and had flown from the FA Cup from Brighton last weekend.
Their dip leaves them in the eighth place in front of the Carabao Cup final next Sunday.

A long ban on Lucas Paqueta amid charges, but the Brazilian could join Monday night, recovering from ankle injury that kept him out of victories over Arsenal and Leicester.
The hammers are still without long -term absences by Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug, but Vladimir Coufal is going to return to Potter team.
The manager will probably stick with the 3-5-2 that has brought about West Ham’s recent success.
West Ham predicted the composition against Newcastle (3-5-2): The yard; Areas; Todibo, Cilswell, Cress. Wassa, Soucek, Alvarez, War-Prowse, Scarles. Crust, bones.
Visitors have many remarkable missing names, including the suspended Anthony Gordon after being missed in last week’s FA Cup defeat in Brighton.
Newcastle lost Lewis Hall for the season and Sven Botman for Long-Haul. The latter recently underwent knee surgery. Jamaal Lascelles is also out of action.
Howe will hope that the Kieran Trippier has shaken his small issue to play in the absence of Hall, and the manager has also said that top shooter Alexander isak is suitable after fatigue in recent weeks.
Newcastle predicted the composition against West Ham (4-3-3): Priest; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento. Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton. Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
West Ham is well relaxed and in a decent part of the form that enters Monday’s game. Potter seems to have stumbled upon an optimal formula to maximize his team, in the absence of a number nine, and Paqueta’s return here, even if he doesn’t start, is a great boost.
Newcastle has remarkable absences, but ISAK’s availability is a great advantage. Magpies showed signs of burning at recent exits, after Howe returned a little during their excellent form in December and January.
They may suffer in East London, but maybe a moment from their top shooter will be enough to win a point.
