Alan Pardew will be looking for his side to rebound though injuries could cause issues for Newcastle with Jonás Gutiérrez and Chuck Tiote doubtful. Steven Taylor will also be unavailable after his dumb red card in the loss to City, further compounding things for the Magpies.
The Irons looked strong in their win over Cardiff but Newcastle should provide a tougher challenge than the newly promoted side. Stewart Downing -- who signed from Liverpool this week -- could make his debut for West Ham but they'll still be without former Magpies strikers Andy Carroll.
