Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE digital coverage of Newcastle United and West Ham United at St James' Park. All the facts, stats and team news will be coming your way over the next hour with kick-off at 14:00 GMT.

The Hammers travelling fans are out in full force!!!

With Allan Saint-Maximin in their side, Newcastle are always dangerous. No doubt he'll be looking to get a packed St. James' Park on their feet and give them something to cheer about

Moyes will be will be looking to out an end to West Ham's recent record of opening games. They have lost their first Premier League match in each of the last five seasons stretching back to 2016-17.

It's an opening day fixture reversal. Last season Newcastle beat West Ham in their opening Premier League match, winning 2-0 at London Stadium. But can The Black and White army break their duck of not winning consecutive Premier League games? The last time they did so was back in 2006-07 when they beat Wigan and then Bolton Wanderers in 2007-08.

West Ham are clearly keen to replicate their away form from last season.....

And here is the Hammers line-up....

The Magpies are going to have to wait until next weekend's trip to Aston Villa to see Joe Willock in action. He completed his £25m move from Arsenal on Friday afternoon, but wasn't registered in time for the 12 noon deadline

Here is how Steve Bruce has set his side out today....

Last season the Magpies avoided relegation with a string of results that lead them to a 12th place finish, but if Steve Bruce is to convince the Newcastle faithful they will want to see big improvements this season. While West Ham were one of the surprise packages finishing 6th and qualifying for Europe. The big question will be can Moyes and his claret army balance domestic and European campaigns.
