West Ham United vs Newcastle United

Home - West Ham United
Last away matches - L-D-W-L-D-W

The Hammers are actually as high as 6th in the Premier League table, but it would be a real surprise if they can maintain that kind of position for the rest of the season. However, a win on Saturday could see them potentially move back into the top four and it has been an exciting startto the season for West Ham United. They have a decent 3-1-2 record at home this season, scoring 8 goals and conceding 6 in those games. West Ham United had been unbeaten in 5 games but saw that run snapped in a 2-1 loss at Everton last weekend, although it has to be said that Sam Allardyce's men were unfortunate in that game. The side had won 3 in a row at Upton Park before the goalless draw with Aston Villa when it can be said that West Ham were perhaps unfortunate not to win that game too. Winston Reid is suspended, but Sam Allardyce could see his squad bolstered by the potential returns of Stewart Downing, Mark Noble, Alex Song, Cheikhou Kouyate, Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia.

Away - Newcastle United
Last away matches - W-W-W-D-L-W

One manager who was seemingly one more negative result from being sacked was Alan Pardew a few weeks ago, but he clearly retains the support of the players, if not the fans, at Newcastle United. Mike Ashley held off from pushing the button on Pardew's future as manager and that seems to have been a good move as Newcastle United moved up the Premier League table and into the Quarter Final of the League Cup. The side are now 5th in the Premier League table and would be in the top four if not for an inferior goal difference compared with Manchester United. Newcastle United have a 2-2-2 away record in the League and have scored 6 goals but conceded 8 in those games. Since a 1-0 loss at Stoke City put Alan Pardew on the brink of being sacked as manager, Newcastle United have responded with a 7 game unbeaten run while they have won 6 in a row heading into this game. They are unbeaten in their last 4 away games in all competitions and Newcastle have won 3 in a row at Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and West Brom while scoring twice in each of those games.

Asian Handicap
Home - (-0.25)
Away - (+0.25)
Pick - Newcastle United (+0.25)
Odds - 2.08

Queens Park Rangers vs Leicester City

Home - Queens Park Rangers
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-L-L

Queens Park Rangers have won just 1 of their last 9 games in all competitions, but there is little doubt that performances have at least been improving in that time. That might not be highlighted by the fact that QPR have lost 5 of their last 7 games, but they have been better at home. In fact, Queens Park Rangers have lost just 1 of their last 5 home games and they did earn a 2-2 draw with Manchester City in their most recent game played at Loftus Road. At the moment, Queens Park Rangers are propping up the rest of the Premier League table, but they are only 2 points behind Hull City in the spot outside of the relegation zone and could move out of the bottom three with a win. They bring in a 2-2-2 record at Loftus Road from games played this season where Rangers have scored 9 goals and conceded 8.

Away - Leicester City
Last away matches - L-L-L-L-W-L

Leicester City have actually not won any of their last 7 games since beating Manchester United 5-3 at home and they have lost 5 of those games to fall down the Premier League table. The side ended a run of 4 consecutive losses with a goalless draw with Sunderland last weekend, although Leicester have now failed to score in 5 games. Since beating Stoke City 0-1 at the Brittania Stadium, Leicester City have lost 4 straight away games At the start of this weekend, Leicester City are 18th in the Premier League table, although just 1 point behind Hull City in the position immediately above them. However, momentum is against the Foxes who are also just 1-0-5 away from home in the League this season, scoring 1 goal and conceding 9.
