Newcastle vs West Brom Prediction and Football Tips
Premier League football tips – Newcastle vs West Brom prediction
Newcastle still have a number of players missing through injury, with Steven Taylor and Cheick Tiote being the key absentees. In addition the injuries, John Carver also has to do without defenders Michael Williamson and Daryl Janmaat, who both saw red at Leicester last week.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster is still out with injury but considering Boaz Myhill’s performance at Old Trafford last week, this is not a huge loss. James Morrison is a doubt and may not be risked, meaning that Tony Pulis could name the same West Brom team that defeated Manchester United.

Newcastle: 4-3-1-2 formation: Krul, Anita, Coloccini, Dummett, Taylor; Gutierrez, Cabella, Colback; Sissoko; Cisse, Perez
West Brom: 4-5-1 formation: Myhill; Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Lescott; Gardner, Yacob, Fletcher, Brunt, Mulumbu; Berahinho

Newcastle continue to go from bad to worse and the 3-0 defeat at Leicester last week was dreadful. Not only was the team performance bad but individual players attitude was also called in to question by the manager. With 8 straight defeats in the Premier League, it’s difficult to anticipate what reaction the team will receive from the fans.
West Brom on the other hand, have picked up having suffered 3 defeats in a row prior to the win at Crystal Palace. Since that win at Selhurst Park, West Brom have picked up a point against Liverpool and won 1-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford. With relegation fears eased, West Brom can travel to Newcastle with confidence.
Newcastle are dropping like a stone and West Brom should take full advantage.
We say: West Brom to win and under 2.5 goals at 9/2 with Bet365
