West Ham will be hoping to build on last weekend's 2-0 victory over Cardiff when Sam Allardyce's side play host to Newcastle on Saturday at Upton Park.
The Hammers will be looking to improve their home form when they face Newcastle as they are without a win in their four previous home games and have only picked up five points in their last 11 home matches.
West Ham are currently in 17th position and are level on points with Cardiff, who occupy the third relegation spot.
Newcastle are without a victory in three successive games and have not won since Boxing Day, scoring one goal in the process.
Alan Pardew's side are eight points off the Europa League spots so if they are to have European ambitions it is crucial that they return to the north east with maximum points.
Newcastle's last victory at Upton Park came in 2010 when two current West Ham players scored for them in the shape of Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll.
Paul Merson's prediction:
West Ham had a massive win last week, as big as it gets. How many times do you see Big Sam jumping up and down on the touchline? Not often. That shows how big it was.
Newcastle were hard done by with a referee who had a nightmare last Sunday and he should probably be reffing my Sunday League game this weekend until he learns the rules of football again. I think Newcastle are a decent team when they get their best players on the pitch and I think they will go there and win.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2
