The Premier League has made an official decision regarding Newcastle United’s match against West Ham following the issuance of a three-match suspension to a critical player.

 

 


The match officials for Newcastle United’s return to Premier League action against West Ham United on Monday (8pm kick-off) have been confirmed. Craig Pawson will serve as the referee for the match at St James’ Park, where Newcastle is striving to achieve their fourth consecutive victory in all competitions, a feat that

 

 

 

has not been achieved since the 2022-23 season. Pawson will be playing in his first match at St James’ Park since the opening day of the season against Southampton.The match was won by Newcastle 1-0, as a result of a first-half goal from Joelinton.

 

 

However, Newcastle was reduced to ten men in the first half due to a collision between Fabian Schar and Southampton forward Ben Brereton-Diaz. The decision resulted in Schar being issued a three-match suspension for violent conduct.

 

 

 

Last month, Pawson also officiated Newcastle’s 0-0 draw at Everton, in which he awarded Eddie Howe’s team a penalty that Anthony Gordon was unable to convert. In the second half, Everton were also denied a penalty claim due to a challenge on Dominic Calvert-Lewin by Dan Burn.

 

 

Eddie Smart and Nick Greenhalgh will provide support to Pawson, while Tony Harrington will serve as the fourth official. Chris Kavanagh will serve as the VAR, with Tim Wood serving as the assistant VAR.

 

 

 

The initial matches since the David Coote leaked video controversy that surfaced during the international break will be played this weekend. After a video surfaced on social media in which he made insulting comments towards former Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp, Coote, who refereed

 

 

Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United and was on VAR for the 4-3 victory over West Ham United last season, has been suspended.
