West Ham United face Newcastle United in the first of two Premier League matches to take place this Sunday.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 14:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo makes three changes from the 2-1 loss at Leeds United.

Freddie Potts, Mateus Fernandes and Callum Wilson are brought into the side.

Tomas Soucek and Andy Irving drop to the bench, while Ollie Scarles is out injured.

There are two changes for Newcastle from last weekend: Emil Krafth and Sandro Tonali come in for Kieran Trippier, who misses out due to illness, and the benched Lewis Miley.

Lewis Hall is back among the substitutes after returning from injury.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf, Potts, Fernandes, Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville, Wilson

Subs: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Igor, Guilherme, Rodriguez, Magassa, Soucek, Irving, Mayers

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Krafth, Thiaw, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Gordon, Woltemade

Subs: Ramsdale, Hall, Schar, Barnes, Osula, Elanga, Willock, Ramsey, Miley

This is a lesson to all of us, that we shouldnt take CS's for granted, as much as I'm losing terrible ground on all the Arsenal DEF players, in any moment, the CS can be lost.

  agree to some extent, like that Edwards free kick could have easily gone in yesterday
  
  but like, Arsenal's defence is just on another level. might be gw to gw variance but long term cleanies will just keep coming in

    *also, not sure what others think, but think raya has gone up another level. saves like the ones vs cunha and wood dont go down as big chances conceded but doubt any other gks in the league save either of these tbh.

    Yep, as I'm sure we can all attest to, we can do all the research in the world and ask a million opinions, but to coin "any given sunday" : one half step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. Arsenal rode their luck yesterday. Dont get me wrong, I so want to jump on that bandwagon as to the Semenyo one. But ive been stubborn so far and it has bitten me some weeks, some ive got away with it, thanks in part to haaland.
    
    To nick the line from Fort Minor's song Remember the name, FPL "This is 20% skill, 80% percent of the time".

Was that really an own goal by Botman?

Looked rather like a deflection.
Bissaka shot on target, didn't he?

  Offensive mids are so last season.
  
  It’s all about the likes of Rice, Caicedo and Xhaka these days.
  
  Long throws, set pieces and defcons.

      Also semenyo has been the best pick this season. CMs have a higher floor and will keep ticking along but expect Mbuemo Semenyo saka to outscore them albeit at a higher price

I'd like to see this Newcastle side with Hall, Livramento, and Wissa in it - the way it was built to be played. They look a little imbalanced atm.
