Newcastle United have picked up three straight wins in three different competitions, but Eddie Howe must now win on the road.

After losing at Brighton and Hove Albion, Newcastle United have responded with three straight wins.

Newcastle beat Benfica in the Champions League, Fulham in the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup.

Three different competitions have brought three victories, all while conceding just one goal.

Eddie Howe can be delighted with this form, but is now looking for Newcastle to overcome a certain hurdle.

Eddie Howe wants Newcastle United to solve away problem

Newcastle won those three games at St James’ Park, with home comforts certainly a factor.

The Magpies must now look to solve problems on the road after failing to win away from home in the first nine Premier League games.

Newcastle’s first three away games ended in 0-0 draws at Aston Villa, Leeds United and Bournemouth.

Howe’s side then lost on the road at Brighton, and the Magpies boss wants an improvement.

Speaking on Newcastle’s official website after beating Tottenham Hotspur in midweek, Howe admitted wanting to find a ‘solution’ to the away day struggles.

Howe feels that Newcastle cannot rely on results at St James’ Park and must step up with a result and a performance at West Ham.

“I think the away form now is the thing that we need to try and… I don’t want to say fix, but we need to find a solution,” said Howe.

“We need to try and find a way to win on the road as well, because we can’t rely solely on our home form, so it’s a big game coming up for us on Sunday,” he added.

West Ham trip offers golden Newcastle United chance

If there is anybody Newcastle would want to face right now, it might just be West Ham.

The Hammers have taken just four points from nine Premier League games and haven’t turned things around under Nuno Espirito Santo.

West Ham have suffered three straight defeats, scoring just once in that run.

The atmosphere at the London Stadium is truly toxic this season, and the Hammers have lost every single home game with an aggregate score of 2-12.

Newcastle need to find some form on the road, and Howe must pile on the misery for the Hammers this weekend.
