Key Statistics for Newcastle and West Ham Encounter

This Premier League season, Newcastle stands as one of only two clubs, alongside league leaders Liverpool, that has not relinquished a point after taking a winning position. Furthermore, the Magpies have secured victories in their last 10 league encounters where they held a lead, marking their most extended sequence of this kind since a streak of 11 consecutive wins from February to August 2006. This Premier League season, Newcastle has deployed a total of 19 players, a figure lower than any other team in the league. Additionally, only Crystal Palace, with four players scoring (excluding own goals), has seen fewer distinct goal-scorers in the division compared to Newcastle’s five. Alexander Isak, notably, has found the net in all three of his Premier League appearances facing West Ham, registering two goals in each of their two fixtures during the 2023-24 season. This achievement marks a unique record, as no Newcastle player has previously scored more than one goal in three successive Premier League matches against a single opponent, nor has any player in the league’s history accomplished this particular scoring feat against West Ham.
