Team News: Stewart Downing returns for West Ham United

Stewart Downing returns to the West Ham United starting XI for his first appearance since suffering an injury while playing for England earlier this month.

Cheikhou Kouyate and Matt Jarvis also come in to the side, with Winston Reid, Kevin Nolan and Carlton Cole the ones to miss out.

The Magpies are unbeaten in their last three visits to West Ham.

West Ham United: Adrian; Jenkinson, Cresswell, Tomkins, Collins; Noble, Kouyate, Downing, Amalfitano, Jarvis; Carroll
