"Haven't been great": Paul Merson makes shock prediction for Newcastle United vs West Ham

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Newcastle United and West Ham. 

The Magpies are currently enjoying the season, sitting in 3rd place in the Premier League table with 39 points. The Hammers, meanwhile, are in 16th place with 18 points. 

The meeting between the two sides will take place on Saturday, February 4, 2023. Merson believes there will be no winner in the upcoming match. 

"Newcastle are flying along, but I think this will be a hard game for them. Bruno Guimaraes can't play this match, and he's going to be a massive miss. Newcastle were playing mind-blowing football against Southampton in the first 30 minutes, but they were just hanging on in the end," the pundit said on Sportskeeda. 

"Defensively, Newcastle are very good. West Ham haven't been great in the Premier League, but they're always a danger and don't get blown away. This is a difficult game for both teams, and I'm going with a draw."

Paul Merson's prediction: Newcastle United 0 - 0 West Ham United
