If Graham Potter can get three points in the late game of round 28 of the 2024/25 Premier League, he will achieve something his predecessor Julen Lopetegui never managed in his short time in charge of West Ham: Winning three consecutive Premier League games. The Hammers have not won three consecutive top-flight games since David Moyes in December 2023, but Potter’s side are showing signs of a strong revival. West Ham played brilliantly away at Arsenal, beating the Gunners 1-0 at the Emirates. Then the Londoners beat Leicester 2-0 at home. Tomas Soucek was in the right place at the right time and Jannik Vestergaard’s own goal helped West Ham take all 3 points against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s army. With 6 points from the last 2 rounds, Bowen and his teammates, although ranked 14th in the Premier League, are 16 points away from the danger zone. With such a big gap, West Ham will not be dragged into the relegation battle in the coming weeks. Beating Arsenal and Leicester without conceding a goal gave West Ham as many wins as their previous nine games in all competitions – six of which ended in defeat – but the Hammers’ wastefulness has left their fans frustrated. West Ham have only taken 9% of their chances in the Premier League this season, while just 30% of their shots have been on target, figures that explain why the Hammers have failed to score in three of their four home games before hosting Leicester. West Ham will host Newcastle at home in the late match of round 28. The West Ham vs Newcastle prediction is slightly in favor of the away team, but the Hammers will not easily accept defeat at home. The away team arrived in London in poor form, having just lost 1-2 to Brighton in the 5th round of the FA Cup. In the Premier League, the team from the Northeast of England has also disappointed, losing in 2 of the last 3 rounds.
