West Ham United

West Ham manager David Moyes speaking to Sky Sports: "We have tried to get a good bit of stability and momentum going. We actually thought we didn't do badly in the early games, but we played tough opposition. Newcastle are another tough opponent today.

"We are in a patch of games now which give us opportunities to pick up points. If you want to stay in the Premier League you have to win more games than the one we did against Chelsea."

Dwight Gayle deserves his place but Steve Bruce has had to stick by him because it has taken a few opportunities for him to get up to speed. It's great news for Newcastle because it's helped the rest of the team. Allan Saint-Maximin isn't always dependable but has a lot of natural talent and he's starting to bring dependability to his team. Bruce has done an amazing job of getting the best out of pretty much every player he's got.

Rashy doing awesome things.

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce told Sky Sports: "All of us are in a situation where you have to use your squad. Bournemouth was our fourth game in 11 days and we rotated the team. When it works, it's not too bad.

"We have set out our first objective which is to stay in the Premier League. If you look at our club, it's only right we are in it, but the challenge for all of us is to maintain the form we are in and to try and finish in the top 10."

It's their worst away run since 2006...

But West Ham do come into this game off the back of that impressive victory over Chelsea on Wednesday.

It makes me laugh how there is still speculation over what the takeover at Newcastle would mean for Magpies boss Steve Bruce, even while his side are swatting other teams away.

Bruce was forever being compared unfavourably to his predecessor Rafael Benitez when he took over last summer. In the past couple of weeks, his side have scored eight goals in three league games to pick up seven points and make it completely certain that they are staying up, yet you still hear about how they would be better off with Mauricio Pochettino in charge.

It's ridiculous really. Meanwhile, Bruce still carries on getting results and proving what a good manager he is, especially in getting the best out of his players.

West Ham are finally up and running again too, and they will be full of confidence after their win over Chelsea - despite a big VAR decision going against them again.

Form-wise, Newcastle would still have to be favourites - but it doesn't always work out that way in the Premier League.

Prediction: 1-1

None of the past 10 meetings have ended in draws, with the Magpies winning six times to West Ham's four.

Newcastle are unbeaten in five Premier League games (W3, D2), their best run since going undefeated in their final six matches of the 2015-16 season.

Steve Bruce's team averaged just 0.9 goals per Premier League game before the season was suspended, but since the restart they are averaging 2.7 goals per match.

West Ham have failed to keep a clean sheet in their past 12 top-flight games, with their only Premier League shut-out since David Moyes was reappointed coming in his first match, a 4-0 win against Bournemouth on 1 January.

They are vying to win back-to-back league matches for the first time since August.

Liverpool's game against Aston Villa at Anfield follows this one at St James' Park. Here's the early team news...

Liverpool have no fresh injury concerns ahead of today's home game against Aston Villa.

Jurgen Klopp says he will field his strongest available side for the remainder of the season.

Aston Villa left-back Matt Targett will miss at least the next two games because of a hamstring injury.

Fit-again pair Frederic Guilbert and Danny Drinkwater are hoping to play for the first time since the Premier League's resumption.

On 42 points, Newcastle are pretty much safe in 12th position. Steve Bruce is keen to finish in the top 10 and a win today could see them do that.

As for West Ham, it's more pressing. They are still just three points above the drop zone and have big games against Norwich, Watford and Aston Villa still to play.

Victory today would be a huge boost going into that run of fixtures.

This one's on the radio too!

Right, we're moving quickly onto the next game as Newcastle take on West Ham in just over 15 minutes.

I'll start building up to that game but we'll bring you any reaction from that draw at Turf Moor too.

That's got to be a Goal of the Month nomination from John Egan - it's worth a watch on Match of the Day 2 later.

Both teams will be fairly happy with the point. Sheffield United have played the slightly better football but Burnley have done what they do.

A share of the spoils. Burnley overtake Tottenham in the table and move up to ninth.

Erik Pieters has gone down clutching his leg. He's receiving treatment on the pitch.

Hopefully that's not another injury for Burnley. He eventually hobbles off the pitch but he doesn't look good.

Sheffield United have been the better team in this game. They’ve dominated when they’ve got the ball down, but they haven’t been able to do that for the whole game. The corner, where they did something different, gave them a fraction of a difference that Burnley weren’t expecting. But they’ve reverted back to type A since then and Burnley have been comfortable again.

David McGoldrick pumps one over to Billy Sharp, who is tussling away with Phil Bardsley.

The Burnley defender comes out on top.

At the other end, Erik Pieters pounces on a loose clearance and drills it dangerously towards the bottom corner. Dean Henderson turns it away for a corner just in case, though it was probably going wide.
