Lawro's Premiership Predictions

Newcastle v West Ham (1330 BST)

Newcastle v West Ham

There has been criticism that Newcastle's football is a little bit dull, but you have to give new manager Sam Allardyce time.

After Monday's defeat to Derby I wouldn't have wanted to be a Newcastle player. To see Big Sam coming through the door during the week wouldn't have been a great sight - he'd probably be like a bear with a sore head.

After last season's relegation scrap, West Ham are looking in better shape this time round.

New players have come in and bedded down well, while Dean Ashton knits everything together nicely.

Just as encouragingly West Ham have a lot of players to come back from injury, notably Scott Parker.

Despite all that, this one is a home win for Newcastle.
