Newcastle vs West Ham
Pintsized
With Joe Willock still not confirmed to return to the Toon Army, Newcastle stands on shaky foundations. Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson are capable of keeping Newcastle afloat, but will the fan’s return dampen the atmosphere? The Hammers finally appear to have a unified culture under David Moyes. Still forced to operate on a shoe-string budget, despite his success with a tiny squad, a lack of youth at the back may prove deadly. Across a jam-packed season including the Europa League, the Hammers will be drawn far too thin by January.
Prediction: 1-1

Newcastle should be better than they actually are but such is having a greedy owner with no ambition or respect for the fans. More relegation scraps for them. West Ham will be also an interesting watch with their foray into Europe. How will that affect their overall performance this season? Moyes is a very solid pair of hands for the Hammers and should kick off the season with a win.
Prediction: 1-3
Steviano
Battle of the chairmen with the deepest pockets and the shortest arms with no incomings to the Toon and nothing of significance for the Hammers who will miss Lingard. Expect this to be the least exciting game of a weekend which includes Burnley v Brighton!
Prediction: 0-0
