Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.

The Hammers remain in relegation trouble despite beating Southampton at the weekend; they sit 15th but the congested bottom half means they are only outside the drop zone on goal difference. A positive result against a top-four opponent would be a massive boost to their survival hopes therefore, though even after this fixture they have another game in hand on those around them.

As for the Magpies, Eddie Howe will hope the big weekend performance in beating Man United is replicated to keep their Champions League hopes firmly on track. Newcastle are third, though will drop to fourth if the Red Devils get a better result than them tonight.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Not far away! Bowen flashes the free-kick just wide of the top-right corner! Zouma was lurking at the far post, put he couldn't get a touch to make it 3-2.

This time Pope gets a firm punch to the set-piece, but West Ham keep the attack alive through Bowen. He skips past Willock and falls into the box, but the referee says he was tripped just outside the area! The Hammers get a free-kick on the right.

West Ham have enjoyed more of the ball since both sides opted to ring the changes, but Newcastle still look the more likely scorers. The Hammers have failed to contain Newcastle's pacey counter-attacks from the first whistle here.

Almost 4-1 to Newcastle! Gordon does well to find Willock 10 yards out, and the midfielder sees his weak effort cleared in front of the goal line by Zouma. The ball falls to Guimaraes, who shoots just wide from the edge of the box!

Close… but the referee blows for a foul! Pope is unconvincing again as he attempts to punch clear inside a crowded six-yard box. The ball drops narrowly wide of his right-hand post, but Pawson penalises Zouma for a foul on the Newcastle goalkeeper.
