Newcastle United's final-day crunch match against West Ham United will be broadcast live on Sky - as John Carver's men look to maintain their Premier League status at St James' Park. The Magpies' clash with the Hammers is part a trio of relegation matches that will be broadcast on different Sky channels simultaneously, with Hull City's home game against Manchester United and Sunderland's trip to Chelsea both being televised too. All matches kick-off at 3pm on Sunday - and one of Newcastle, Hull or Sunderland will join already-relegated Queens Park Rangers and Burnley in the Championship next season by the full-time whistle. The final-day fixtures will be shown on the following channels: Hull City vs Manchester United - Sky Sports 1 Chelsea vs Sunderland - Sky 1 Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Sky Sports 3 Carver's side are currently 17th, just one place and two points above the dropzone, following their ninth loss out of 10 at QPR last weekend. The Magpies led 1-0 at half-time but went on to lose 2-1 and they must win on Sunday in order to guarantee their Premier League future. In theory, a draw or a loss could be enough to keep Newcastle in the top flight, but they would be relying on Hull or Sunderland slipping up in their matches.
