Newcastle v West Ham (15:00 GMT)
Who are you and what have you done with Newcastle? Christmas has come early in Newcastle, but has it come too early?
Three wins on the bounce and four games unbeaten. Newcastle turned the heat on in November but they need to carry it on throughout December.
Victory over West Ham today could see them climb up to 12th place and potentially six points above the relegation zone - something few people saw possible a few weeks ago.
They are level on points with today's visitors, who sit in 14th place and have two wins in their last seven league matches.
The Hammers were thrashed 4-0 by Man City last weekend so they will be fired up for today's game at Newcastle.

FA Cup highlightspublished at 12:33 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2018
Solihull Moors 0-0 Blackpool
It's FA Cup second round weekend, the stage before Premier League teams enter.
Last night, Solihull Moors drew 0-0 with Blackpool on BBC Two. There was an interesting offside call and some nice attacking football so it's well worth a watch.
You can catch up on the highlights here...
Movement at the toppublished at 12:31 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2018
Following Tottenham's victory over Chelsea last Saturday, there's been some movement at the top of the Premier League table but only one of the leading six teams are in action today.
Man City and Liverpool remain unbeaten and are separated by just two points. But neither team were able to come away with a win in Europe this week so will be keen to bounce back. City are first up at 15:00 today against Bournemouth, while Liverpool take on sixth-placed Everton in tomorrow's big Merseyside derby (Sun, 16:15 GMT).
Tottenham travel to the Emirates tomorrow for another big north London derby against Arsenal (Sun, 14:05 GMT), looking to keep up with the top two.
And Chelsea host bottom-of-the-table Fulham tomorrow too (Sun, 12:00 GMT), hoping to recover ground after last week's defeat.

End of twitter postThe relegation battlepublished at 12:19 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2018
Today is mostly about the bottom of the table.
Four of the bottom six are playing, including Southampton, who welcome Jose Mourinho's Manchester United side to St Mary's at 17:30 GMT.
Junior Hoilett's spectacular late winner, which gave Cardiff a huge victory over Wolves last night, moved them out of the relegation zone.
But there is likely to be further movement in the bottom three following Burnley's trip to Crystal Palace today (15:00) - a classic relegation-battle-six-pointer.

Warnock and birthday pridepublished at 12:09 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2018
Cardiff 2-1 Wolves
Cardiff boss Neil Warnock turns 70 today and says he will enjoy his celebrations a lot more on the back of last night's win over Wolves.
The Bluebirds trailed 1-0 at half-time but goals from Aron Gunnarsson and Junior Hoilett hauled them out of the relegation zone. Cardiff have come from behind in all of their three wins this season.
"I'm really proud of them. There's not enough said about character," said Warnock.
"In the Premier League you've got to have ability and you've got to have skill, but it's nothing without character. That determination, that togetherness, never knowing when you're beaten.
"They've answered their own questions, the lads, because there were quite a lot there in that team when I first turned up two years ago [in the Championship], and here we are."

Man Utd travel to second bottom Southampton in the late kick-off.
Here's what's coming up...

"All I want for Christmas is three points."
It's December 1 which means the countdown to Christmas has begun! But us football fans are only counting down to 3pm when five Premier League games kick-off.
And we all want our Christmas wishes to come true with tonnes of goals, three points and a video of Neil Warnock dancing at his birthday party - Alan Pardew style.
Hopefully those three wishes (or at least two) will come true today...
