Two teams with very different objectives will clash at St. James' Park on Sunday, when Newcastle and West Ham go up against each other. For the hosts, there really is nothing to fight for. It's been an underwhelming season from Eddie Howe's men, who've got nowhere near the heights that they've reached in recent times, but they're in no danger of going down, so it's pretty much time for the hosts to relax and play nice and freely.
In contrast, the visitors are fighting for their lives. The pressure is on the Hammers, who are closer to dropping out of the EPL than they have been in several years. If they don't get a positive result in the North East on Sunday, they could be down with a game to spare, such is their plight. High-pressure situations call for the best players, and West Ham's best player is Jarrod Bowen, who is more likely than anyone to deliver a match-winning performance. At odds of +300, the England forward is worth betting on to notch.

Our Newcastle vs West Ham Prediction
It has been a while since Jarrod Bowen found the net, but it would be wrong to say that the England international hasn't been a little unlucky in recent times. He's hit the woodwork multiple times over the last month or so, while he continues to look hungry, getting into dangerous positions on a regular basis. Against a Newcastle team that doesn't really care about this game, the high-intensity Hammer is worth betting on to do some damage.
Bowen has taken more shots than any other West Ham player this season, while he typically thrives on the break in away games, scoring this term in several such road games.
Our Newcastle vs West Ham Pick: Jarrod Bowen to Score.
