West Ham have won four consecutive matches at London Stadium. They've yet to hit five at London Stadium. Is today the day?
Newcastle haven't won away in 2019 but they are on a very decent run. The Magpies have four victories in their last six matches, plus one draw.

"I’m happy to be back and feeling strong,” he said after Wednesday's appearance against Man City. “It’s amazing to be back on the pitch and I am feeling like a player again and that is good."
