West Ham XI vs Newcastle: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League game today | OneFootball

Hammers get key new fitness boost as they look for a third successive win under Graham Potter

West Ham have named an unchanged team for tonight’s Premier League clash against Newcastle, with Lucas Paqueta among the substitutes.

The Hammers host Eddie Howe’s Carabao Cup finalists at the London Stadium this evening with Graham Potter’s side looking to build on impressive recent results.

West Ham beat Leicester 2-0 last time out to claim consecutive top-flight victories for the first time in almost a year, having shocked Arsenal earlier last month.

While beating the struggling Foxes is perhaps not the biggest surprise in the world, the Irons should feel confident about Monday’s game. Newcastle currently sit sixth in the Premier League table but are missing key players through injury and suspension and have rarely convinced on a consistent basis over the past few weeks.

Paqueta suffered an ankle injury and has missed West Ham’s last two Premier League games but trained ahead of Monday’s match and is in the squad.

“He's fine. He's been disappointed because he's missed games with injury, but he's worked hard and trained well this week,” Potter said.

“I've found him no problem whatsoever, and he's been really good. He's been with the group and given everything in the games he's played. He's done everything he needs to do and he's available again.”

Vladimir Coufal has also trained after injury though misses out on the West Ham squad once more.

Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug are long-term absentees. Fullkrug has “has trained but it's still early for his involvement” in a fresh boost for the Hammers, who are also without Crysencio Summerville in attack.

West Ham XI: Areola, Todibo, Kilman, Cresswell, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Bowen, Kudus

Subs: Fabianski, Soler, Paqueta, Mavropanos, Guilherme, Ings, Rodriguez, Emerson, Ferguson
