The Magpies face West Ham United in the Premier League on Monday (kick-off 8pm GMT) in their final outing before next Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.

United may be deprived of the services of the suspended Anthony Gordon and the injured Lewis Hall for both games, but Eddie Howe's squad were in good spirits as they trained on Wednesday ahead of the clash with the Hammers. Serena Taylor was there to bring newcastleunited.com this gallery.
