Nico Lennon: That was a stunning save by Dubravka from Bowen. The ball came at him very quickly and he somehow managed to push it onto the bar. It was a close escape and a reminder of the threat West Ham pose, despite our early pressure.

Chris Wood does really well to beat his man and get a cross into the six-yard area which West Ham just about scramble clear through Kurt Zouma. Still a few boos each time he touches the ball.

Midway through the first half. Two good saves at either end. Newcastle started well but signs in the last few minutes that West Ham are playing like a team in fifth.

First booking of the match and Ryan Fredericks can have no complaints after taking out Joe Willock in full flight.

What a save!

Jarrod Bowen gets behind the Newcastle defence for the first time and HAMMERS it towards the net from an angle.

Martin Dubravka gets his finger tips on it to push it on to the bar.

Joe Willock launches a counter which ends with Kurt Zouma poking a clearance into the path of Joelinton who hammers it high and wide. That may have cleared the ground!

Flat start by the Hammers. All the noise is coming from the sold out away end where 3,000 travelling Newcastle fans are housed.

A free-kick is floated into the Newcastle box and brushes off Emil Krafth before going out of play. Referee Chris Kavanagh signals a goal-kick much to the anger of the home side.

That wasn't a great challenge at all from Craig Dawson. He was lucky there was a foul given just beforehand, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

Newcastle look like the team in fifth place at the minute. They’re so comfortable in possession.

Great block by Matt Targett to stop Michail Antonio's goal-bound attempt. That's the first time the Hammers have opened Newcastle up.

Fornals and Willock are going to be fine to continue but now Ryan Fraser has been caught in the shoulder by Craig Dawson.

Collision between Pablo Fornals and Joe Willock right in front of where the two managers are standing.

A reminder Newcastle were three points from safety a couple of months ago. Now they're searching a fourth straight win and they've made a positive start here. They're seeing lots of the ball and are getting forward at every opportunity.

It’s a great start from Newcastle, but this is something you wouldn’t expect from West Ham. They’ve been sloppy from set plays, which is something they base their game on.

No Trippier or Saint-Maximin for Newcastle but they've started really well. West Ham haven't got going.

What a start by Newcastle.

The free-kick is delivered into the box and Declan Rice fails to deal with it allowing Joelinton an early chance.

It's blocked by Lukasz Fabianski who is alert to the danger.

Then Joe Willock has an attempt that is deflected wide.

Cagey start by both teams. Early free-kick to Newcastle inside the West Ham half after a foul by Pablo Fornals.

Bubbles everywhere as the Hammers get the game under way.

Michail Antonio wants to be the man with the most goals for West Ham, but being reliable with the ball and in terms of his performance is so important for the Hammers.

The goals will come.
