10 Key Match Facts Ahead Of Newcastle Vs West Ham

1. 0 - Wins For Hull City In The Premier League In The Month Of May

This stat is pivotal for this match from a Newcastle point of view - because the Magpies simply appear incapable of winning a match, so they are relying on Manchester United doing them a favour at the KC Stadium. In four seasons in the Premier League, Hull City have never won a match in the month of May - drawing three, losing eight and scoring just seven in the process. Most notably, Hull lost 1-0 to Man United on the final day of the Premier League season - once again on May 24th - back during the 2008-09 campaign, the day Newcastle were last relegated. A repeat result this time, and it would be the Tigers going down, not the Magpies, however...
