6. 63 - Premier League Goals Newcastle Have Conceded, Compared To West Ham's 45
One of the many stats that just continues to get worse week after week for Newcastle. The Magpies have conceded 63 goals this season - the second-highest tally in the division, with only Queens Park Rangers (68) having let in more. West Ham on the other hand have conceded just 45 goals this campaign, 18 less than John Carver's men. While West Ham have a fairly-healthy goal difference of just -1, Newcastle's is -24 - and that could ultimately relegate them, because it is significantly worse than that of Hull City (-18). The Tigers' would only improve further if they won, and a draw would fail to alter the Magpies', so that could send Newcastle down.
