Newcastle and West Ham both have suspensions to key players to contend with heading into their fixture on Monday.

The Hammers head into this one in good form, having won three matches in a row, while West Ham have won just two out of their last 10 across all competitions.

Here's how the squads are shaping up.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle will be without Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and Emil Krafth due to injury, while Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier are also doubts.

Dan Burn is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Forest.

Last Newcastle Lineup

Here's how Newcastle lined up against Forest.

(4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Gordon, Isak, Joelinton

West Ham Team News

Mohamed Kudus is serving the final match of his five-game suspension, but Edson Alvarez is available again after a suspension of his own.

The only major injury concern for West Ham surrounds Niclas Fullkrug, who is still out with an Achilles problem that has kept him out for most of the season so far.

Last West Ham Lineup

Here's how West Ham lined up against Everton.

(4-1-4-1): Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; G. Rodriguez; Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Summerville; Antonio

Newcastle vs West Ham Expected Lineups

With Burn not available, Howe will likely turn to Lloyd Kelly to deputise in the middle of defence. The front three of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Joelinton picks itself at the moment, but Sandro Tonali will look to start in midfield after coming off the bench to earn himself an assist against Nottingham Forest, potentially at the expense of Joe Willock.

Harvey Barnes came off the bench to score in that one, too, but he probably won't displace that attacking trio.

Newcastle (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schar, Kelly, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Gordon, Isak, Joelinton

With Alvarez back available, we might see Crysencio Summerville drop out which would push Lucas Paqueta out to the left-hand side.

West Ham (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez, G. Rodriguez; Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta; Antonio
