West Ham will once again be without Niclas Fullkrug for their Premier League clash with Newcastle on Monday night. Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui is reportedly under mounting pressure after a dreadful start to the season,

Newcastle is in good form and takes on an underachieving West Ham team whose head coach is on thin ice this Monday. Back the home favorite without hesitation.

What are West Ham under Julen Lopetegui? It looks like David Moyes football without the swashbuckling counter-attack style that led the club to some special places under his watch. Lopetegui's appointment is turning into one of the big mistakes of the summer.
