West Ham v Newcastle: match preview

West Ham are already under pressure after angering their players and their supporters with the controversial sale of Grady Diangana to West Brom. They have made no signings after spending last season battling against relegation and David Moyes needs his team to be resilient against Newcastle, who are feeling good after buying Ryan Fraser, Jamal Lewis and Callum Wilson.
