Newcastle United host West Ham United on Saturday, and both teams will be playing for two different objectives. The Magpies are playing for Premier League safety with just a place and six points between them and the relegation zone, while the Hammers are playing for Champions League football. Newcastle finished three places and five points above West Ham in the top-flight table last season, but both teams are not on the same level this season. The Hammers made a couple of quality additions to their squad during the summer and winter transfer windows, and that has made all the difference.
