Newcastle United welcome West Ham United to St. James’ Park in Round 37 of the Premier League 2025-26 season, with both teams heading into the match under very different circumstances.
Newcastle currently sit 13th in the table with 46 points after 36 matches. The Magpies are safe from relegation and no longer in contention for European qualification, but they will still be determined to finish the season strongly in front of their home supporters in their final match at St. James’ Park this campaign. However, their recent form has been inconsistent, earning just four points from their last five league games, including a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest last weekend.
For West Ham United, this match is nothing short of a survival battle. The Hammers are 18th with 36 points, just two points behind Tottenham in 17th place. A defeat could leave their Premier League future hanging by a thread heading into the final round. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have shown signs of inconsistency during the run-in, and their painful 0-1 home defeat to Arsenal in Round 36 pushed them directly into the relegation zone.
Recent meetings between the two sides have been evenly balanced, with each team winning twice and one match ending in a draw across the last five encounters. West Ham also have a strong scoring record at St. James’ Park, finding the net in each of their last six visits.
Newcastle’s defensive problems continue after losing key center-back Fabian Schär for the rest of the season, but they still possess dangerous attacking talent in Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimarães, who leads the club’s scoring charts with nine goals this season. For West Ham, Jarrod Bowen remains the main source of inspiration with eight goals and ten assists, and the London side know they must take at least a point to keep their survival hopes alive before the dramatic final day.
