While it’s been a tough start to life for Nuno Espírito Santo at West Ham United, there remain significant signs of life that they can bridge this storm and pick up results in the coming weeks. Before his appointment, across five league games, they’d won one and had four defeats, three of which were by 3+ goals. Since Nuno’s appointment, the club has solidified, drawing 1-1 away to Everton, by a couple of goals against in-form Arsenal and Brentford and were last narrowly beaten by a goal against Leeds.
Despite their narrow defeat to Leeds, there were continued signs that West Ham United are on the cusp of another positive result. On the ball, they looked to have improved with 59% of possession and a pass accuracy of 82% and scoring one goal from an XG of 0.65 demonstrates there is some efficient finishers at the club, with Fernandes 90th 90th-minute goal from an Expected Goal of just 0.07.
There remain signs of life, and London Stadium could be the catalyst for a season-defining result on Sunday. I like the look of West Ham +2 @ 4/9, which would’ve paid out in four of the last four games between both sides.

Newcastle’s Form Guide
Newcastle had a breakthrough season in 25/26, winning the EFL Cup, which was their first major trophy since 1959, and a fifth-place finish secured a return to the Champions League this season. However, following the departure of Alexander Isak and the added load of European Football, it was always going to be difficult for the Magpies to navigate this season, which has resulted in a mixed bag in the league with twelve points from nine league games.
Though their start to the season was difficult, there seems to be signs of life at the club following three consecutive wins in all competitions, beating Benfica 3-0 in the Champions League, a 2-1 league victory over Fulham and a 2-0 triumph over Tottenham in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. The highlight of their latest win was Nick Woltemade scoring his sixth goal for the club.
Ahead of this fixture, Dan Burn has played the most minutes of any Newcastle player in all competitions with his 1170-minute tally playing every minute of their three Champions League fixtures, their nine league games and every minute of their win over Tottenham midweek. Thus, the 33-year-old could suffer from tired legs soon and has already three yellow cards in nine league games.

Key Players To Watch
Key Players To Watch
Mateus Fernandes - West Ham United
Portuguese Underage International Mateus Fernandes doubled his tally for his new club last weekend with a deft flick to pull one back against Leeds. Hammers supporters will be hoping that’s the catalyst for his performances to push on further, and his unique blend of industriousness, athleticism, and creative flair could be exactly what is needed to overcome the Newcastle midfield.
Jacob Murphy - Newcastle
Despite being at the club for eight years, his performances have arguably made him the unsung hero in the club's rise, with 22 goals and 37 assists across his 228 games, including 1 goal and 3 assists in just 508 minutes (10 games) this season. His work-rate, crossing ability and versatility make him a key cog for Newcastle.
Prediction & Best Bet
West Ham United v Newcastle Prediction & Tips
Prediction: West Ham United 1-1 Newcastle
West Ham United haven’t quite put it together under Nuno Espírito Santo, but it seems a matter of “when” and not “if”, given the performances of Captain Jarrod Bowen, along with their new signings, finally finding their feet.
Newcastle have been inconsistent in the league, and the extra load in their legs means they haven’t hit the heights they’re capable of yet in 25/26.
I’m expecting a tight game between both sides and a draw could very well be on the cards Sunday.
