Toon v irons

[Alberts__Lob]

Sky Sports Prediction:

The return of home fans inside stadiums will be billed for the majority as a huge positive. Maybe not so for these two teams though.

St James' Park is one the great amphitheatres but while Mike Ashley remains in charge, it also has the potential and threat to become a hindrance for the team if things aren't going swimmingly on the pitch. And for a club that have not taken 45 points over a course of the season for seven years, chances of unrest look high especially if Steve Bruce slips back to his negative ways.

That may take a few months to kick in, though, and with Allan Saint-Maximin in their side, they can threaten any team in the Premier League, especially one like West Ham who are a tad short of pace through the middle of their defence.

The flying Frenchman caused havoc as the Toon did the double over the Hammers last season and similar is expected on Super Sunday. Playing through the middle alongside Callum Wilson should see his goalscoring and shot stats improve this campaign and my thinking is prices like 9/1 for him to score first won't be around in a few weeks if he keeps getting into those dangerous central areas. I fancy him to score in a home win.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
