Callum Wilson has rightfully earned the title of West Ham’s bogeyman over recent seasons.
Whether donning the red and white stripes of AFC Bournemouth or the black and white of Newcastle United, Michail Antonio’s mate Wilson has an uncanny knack for scoring against the Hammers.
So, it was completely predictable to learn that, despite an injury layoff even longer than Niclas Füllkrug’s this season, Wilson is expected to be fit for the Newcastle vs West Ham clash.
The Hammers’ next Premier League match is at St. James’ Park next Monday, and Eddie Howe’s Magpies appear to have several key players ready to return. However, before fans dwell too much on their Wilson worries, Newcastle may pose an even bigger threat to West Ham’s fragile defence.
Alexander Isak has found the net in all three of his Premier League games against the Irons, scoring twice in both encounters during the 2023-24 campaign. No Newcastle player has ever scored in three consecutive EPL matches against the same opponent—but as West Ham fans know all too well, if there’s a record to break, the Hammers are often the team to face.
With Mohammed Kudus still missing due to his five-match ban for violent conduct, Julen Lopetegui will need as many of his top players as possible for what promises to be a daunting trip to the North East
we are 🍞🔥
Callum Wilson could come on with a broken leg and still find the net against West Ham! 😂
Regardless, COYI ! ⚒️
I don’t think that anything Newcastle related makes a lot of difference. I don’t see how on our own merits that we’re going to get anything other than beaten.
We should not worry about them. They should be wary of us. They should be afraid, be very afraid.
lol your getting battered lad
Bournemouth are in Red and Black stripes
