Sitting nicely third in the English Premier League table and having reached their first major final in 24 years in midweek, things look rather rosy at the moment for Newcastle and their boss Eddie Howe. But could an improvement from West Ham upset the good vibes at St James’ Park on Saturday in this intriguing Premier League clash?

Sean Longstaff scored twice for the Magpies as they beat Southampton 2-1 on Tuesday to secure their place in this year’s Carabao Cup final. The result sparked jubilant scenes over Tynecastle at the final whistle, but the hosts’ attention must now turn to league matters, as they seek to hold on to their place among the Champions League qualifying places .

Despite their good form, this game promises to be difficult for the hosts, Newcastle having to do without influential central midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, absent due to a three-match suspension. Ineligible against Southampton, $54million signing Anthony Gordon is set to make his Newcastle debut after leaving Everton.

After a disastrous start to the season for West Ham, there are signs of recovery for the Hammers. A crucial win against relegation rivals Everton a fortnight ago was followed by a professional win over Championship Derby in the FA Cup on Monday. These games have shown that dangerous West Ham forwards Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio are both starting to click again, which could spell trouble for a dynamic Newcastle.

Below we will describe the best live tv streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

If you’re unable to view the game locally, you may need another way to watch the game – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your game day speeds by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and connections.

With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet, or laptop to access the game. So if your ISP or mobile carrier has blocked you with an IP address that says incorrectly your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can fix this problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, unobstructed zone.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN

• With four variables in play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for a city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure that the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file in your account. Second, some smart TVs – like Roku – don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or whatever mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with Smart TV services, after installing a cable network’s sports app, you will be asked to verify a numeric code or click on a link sent to your registered email address for your Smart TV . This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, as both devices will appear in the correct place.
• And remember, browsers can often give away location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-focused browser to connect to your services. We normally recommend Brave.
