The Premier League hasn't been away for long and now it's back. West Ham United will host Newcastle United at the London Stadium on Saturday night behind closed doors. The Hammers managed to retain their top-flight status last season while Newcastle United will be looking to have a much better campaign after finishing 13th in the 2019-20 season.West Ham United are not in good shape ahead of the season following the controversial sale of academy product Grady Diangana and the fallout from that situation. It has been a rather unfortunate transfer window for West Ham and it is not surprising that David Moyes is the favourite to be the first Premier League manager sacked this season.Meanwhile, Newcastle United will be bolstered by the arrival of striker Callum Wilson from Bournemouth. He loves playing against West Ham and has scored seven goals against the Hammers - the most he has scored against any particular club.We can confirm that Grady Diang has completed a permanent transfer to West Bromwich Albion. Everyone at West Ham United would like to thank Grady for his service and commitment to the Club, and wish him all the very best in his future career.— West Ham United (@WestHam) September 4, 2020West Ham United vs Newcastle United Head-to-HeadWest Ham United and Newcastle have played against each other 136 times.
