West Ham swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 0-1 against Lincoln City. They went on to defeat Sheffield United 2-0 and made it three on the spin against Freiburg in a 1-2 victory. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for West Ham but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six Premier League matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring 11 goals while conceding seven.

Newcastle United Form

Newcastle United look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Manchester City, who were defeated by 1-0. Then, Burnley got outclassed in a 2-0 win, before beating PSG by 4-1. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Newcastle United won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and 16 scored.
