Newcastle United will be looking to make it four consecutive victories when they make the trip to West Ham on Saturday.
The Magpies enter tomorrow’s clash full of confidence following wins against Leeds United, Everton and Aston Villa.
Eddie Howe’s side, though, will be without one of the key men behind their turnaround, Kieran Trippier, who suffered a fractured bone in his foot last weekend against Villa.
Opponents West Ham, meanwhile, will be hoping to build some momentum again after an inconsistent recent of form.
The Hammers have won just one of their last four matches and only a stoppage-time Craig Dawson equaliser prevented a defeat in their last outing at Leicester City.
FiveThirtyEight, a website that provides data-driven predictions for matches, believes West Ham are overwhelming favourites to secure all three points.
They forecast that the Hammers have a 54% chance of winning, in comparison to Newcastle’s 22%.
Pundits from across the media have been giving their predictions ahead of the weekend and Chronicle Live have rounded them up for you.
Mark Lawrenson – BBC Sport
Mark Lawrenson of BBC Sport is expecting Newcastle’s winning run to come to an end at the London Stadium on Saturday.
He said: “Newcastle's mini revival is up and running, and they have a little bit of breathing space above the bottom three after winning three games in a row.
“The way the Magpies beat Aston Villa last weekend wasn't pretty, but it was the result that mattered for them.
“To get anything out of a trip to West Ham is probably going to involve even more defensive effort and looks a much harder task for Eddie Howe's side, especially with Kieran Trippier out injured.
“The Hammers have been a bit up and down of late but they always seem to have at least one forward in form and firing. Jarrod Bowen is that player at the moment.”
Prediction: West Ham 2-0 Newcastle
Paul Merson – Sportskeeda
In his latest weekly Premier League predictions column for Sportskeeda, Paul Merson is also predicting a win for the Hammers.
He said: “Four weeks ago, this game wouldn't have been much of a contest as Newcastle United were in a dreadful run of form. They've now won three games on the trot and climbed out of the relegation zone. That said, I still fancy West Ham to win as I don't think Newcastle will be able to live with the threat posed by Michail Antonio upfront.
“Additionally, Kieran Trippier is a massive loss for them. He's been a fantastic addition to the squad as well as the dressing room and has scored two massively important goals for Newcastle since signing for the club in January. The Magpies have been in good form, but this is a hard game for them.”
Prediction: West Ham 2-0 Newcastle
