Match preview

Given that both these sides have only won once in the Premier League this season, both will be desperate for three points at the London Stadium.

West Ham United were robbed a point at Chelsea last weekend when Maxwel Cornet’s stoppage time equaliser was disallowed by VAR for ostensibly no reason whatsoever.

It was alleged that Jarrod Bowen had fouled Édouard Mendy, but even the PGMOL themselves later admitted this decision was incorrect.

In the week prior, David Moyes’ men had properly got their season up and running.

A fortnight ago, the Hammers won for the first time this season, this at Villa Park, before drawing with fierce rivals Tottenham, a game they should also have claimed three points in.

Then, on Thursday night, the Irons kicked off their Europa Conference League group stage campaign against European Champions Steaua București.

However, it wasn’t going to plan when the Romanian club took a first half lead at the London Stadium.

However, Jarrod Bowen equalised from the penalty spot, before late goals from Emerson and then Michail Antonio snatched the points.

Back to domestic football, will the Hammers climb out the relegation zone?

Newcastle United meanwhile haven’t won since beating Nottingham Forest on the opening day.

In fairness, the Magpies have drawn four of five games subsequently, their only defeat coming at Anfield, by virtue of a 96th minute winner.

Just like their hosts, Eddie Howe’s team too were on the wrong end of a scandalous VAR decision.

An own goal had Newcastle ahead at home to Crystal Palace, but this was chalked off for a foul by Joe Willock, when he himself had been bundled over.

Fuelled by last weekend’s injustices, which United will prevail at the London Stadium?
