The Newcastle United players knowing they would move into the top half of the Premier League with a win this afternoon.

Eddie Howe and Newcastle United now eleven weeks into the new season.

Chris Sutton talking to BBC Sport – 31 October 2025:

“Newcastle marched on in the Carabao Cup in midweek and, after winning it last season and ending their long wait for silverware, I’m starting to think about whether Eddie Howe can get his hands on another trophy.

“In contrast, West Ham are in deep trouble.

“Nuno Espirito Santo had a free week to work on things on the training ground, but whoever he picks, it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

“The Hammers concede a lot of goals from set-plays and I feel like Newcastle are just going to be too strong for them in every area.

“Prediction: West Ham 0 Newcastle 2”
