While West Ham travel to Norwich over on talkSPORT, the Hornets will be desperate for three points against Steve Bruce’s Magpies on talkSPORT 2.

The Hammers and Watford are both three points clear of the relegation zone, and the table could look much prettier by 3pm if results go their way in the early kick-offs.

Meanwhile, anything but a win for Norwich will confirm relegation.

Newcastle, who are safe, will be looking to restore their positive form since the restart and put that 5-0 drubbing at Man City to the back of their minds.

Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce is hoping for a treble injury boost ahead of the game at Vicarage Road.

Skipper Jamaal Lascelles (ankle) and frontmen Miguel Almiron (thigh) and Allan Saint-Maximin (fatigue) all missed the 5-0 midweek defeat at Manchester City, but could return at Vicarage Road, as did striker Andy Carroll (groin), who also has a chance of being involved.

However, midfielders Isaac Hayden and Sean Longstaff are still missing with hamstring injuries while defenders Florian Lejeune and Ciaran Clark continue to work their way back towards full fitness.
