Eddie Howe’s men take on West Ham United aiming for revenge after losing 2-0 at St James’ Park in November’s reverse fixture. Newcastle must do so following a hectic week on Tyneside that has threatened to derail their hopes for the 2024-25 campaign.

The duo's form has attracted attention from elsewhere. Liverpool almost signed Gordon last summer, although the winger has since penned a new deal at St James' Park. Isak, meanwhile is probably the hottest striker in the world right now with Barcelona, Arsenal, paris St Germain and Liverpool all coveting him.

Isak is a world-class operator, and he has the personality to boot. Indeed, according to Chris Waugh, speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, Isak has a great personality behind the scenes at Newcastle, blending a laid-back persona well with a massively driven need for perfection.
