West Ham United were held to a 1-1 draw by Sheffield United last weekend in the Premier League and next up they welcome Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Hammers started the season on a positive note but Pellegrini’s men have been going through a rather poor form during the past couple of weeks.
West Ham United have managed to pick up a win in just one out of their previous six league matches and right now they are sitting 10th on the league table.
Newcastle United too have been cursed with a similar faith this season under Steve Bruce as the Magpies too have picked up one win in their past six outings.
So theoretically it should be a battle of evens when these two sides meet during the weekend but everyone would be hoping for the Hammers to nick this one since they have the home advantage and on top of that the Magpies have lost their last three away matches in the league.
