'Massive' - Paul Merson claims West Ham have BIG advantage over Newcastle United

Paul Merson has stated that West Ham may have an advantage now over Newcastle United on the weekend. On Saturday, the Hammers face Newcastle in a home match at London Stadium. Ahead of the game, Merson has highlighted that Kieran Trippier's absence (bone fracture) is a huge blow for the Irons. Speaking on Sky Sports, the pundit said.

“It’s a massive blow for Newcastle to be losing Kieran Trippier but they’ve now got to kick on.   "His two goals have been massive but it’s also his experience on the pitch and in the dressing room.   "I can’t really express just how big a blow losing Trippier is for Newcastle.   "He’s an international who has played in big games over his career so he’ll be a miss.   "He’s the type of player who wouldn’t let things get slack now all of a sudden they’ve got a few points on the board."
