Newcastle United have made five changes for this afternoon's trip to West Ham United.

Henri Saivet is handed his first league start of the season, while Mohamed Diame, Matt Ritchie, Ciaran Clark and Dwight Gayle complete the alterations to the side that lost 1-0 to Arsenal last weekend.

Florian Lejeune, Jacob Murphy, Mikel Merino, Isaac Hayden and Ayoze Perez are the men to make way.
