LONDON (Interstat) — A struggling West Ham United side, desperate for a Premier League lifeline, hosts a resurgent Newcastle United at the London Stadium on Sunday.

The matchup pits two clubs trending in opposite directions. Newcastle (3-3-3) arrives with momentum, fresh off a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. That win extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to three matches, a stark contrast to their hosts’ form.

West Ham (1-7-3) is mired in a deep slump, sitting near the bottom of the table with just one league win this season. The Hammers are winless in their last four league outings, most recently falling 2-1 to Leeds United on Oct. 24. Their overall record across all competitions this season is a dismal 1-9-3, highlighting the scale of their crisis.

Newcastle’s recent success has been built on a strengthened defense, recording consecutive clean sheets against Fulham and Tottenham. Their attack has also found a rhythm, scoring multiple goals in three straight matches.

Despite the statistical disparity, Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw. The result would extend West Ham’s frustrating run but would be seen as a point gained against an in-form opponent. For Newcastle, a draw on the road would maintain their mid-table positioning as they look ahead to a challenging November schedule.

Kickoff is set for Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, in a Premier League fixture.
