Sky pundit Paul Merson claims West Ham will inflict misery on the Magpies despite a good performance against Arsenal
Merson predicts a 2-0 win for the Hammers and wrote on the Sky website:
“Newcastle put in a good performance against Arsenal and were unlucky. You look at games like that and think ‘if you can play like that against Arsenal, why not against clubs lower down the league?’ You have to do it week-in-week-out, against teams around you.
West Ham are playing really well. They were outstanding against Stoke. I am not sure Newcastle will be able to handle Marko Arnautovic. David Moyes is doing a great job.”
