Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

West Ham did not put in the most productive of performances against Manchester City – but the Hammers should win this game.

The ‘new manager bounce’ may well not apply to Steve Bruce, with his Newcastle side looking particularly out of sorts against Wolves.

It’s hard to see how Bruce can inspire this team within the space of a few days to claiming victory in what is, in reality, a meaningless game.

West Ham are setting themselves up for the season while Newcastle will still be working on Bruce’s new systems.

So everything points to a West Ham win here.
