Newcastle United host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon hoping to secure their fourth successive win in the Premier League.

Manager Alan Pardew had come under pressure after a poor run in October, but his team have responded with three victories in a row to move into eighth position in the league table.

Pardew is unlikely to tinker with the lineup that started last week's 2-1 win over Norwich City.

West Bromwich Albion went through October without picking up a victory, but they have responded by going unbeaten in their last three matches.

However, the Baggies did let slip a 2-0 advantage against Aston Villa on Monday evening, leaving head coach Steve Clarke to consider changes for their visit to St James' Park.
