West Ham United vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from London Stadium
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.

Emerson fouls Wilson on halfway. The left-back escapes a second yellow card again, but he must be on his final warning now.

ANOTHER BIG SAVE! Saint-Maximin shifts the ball onto his right foot and bends a lovely effort towards the far corner. Fabianski is equal to it once again, stretching to tip the ball away. The West Ham goalkeeper is keeping his team in this match at the moment!
