Terry Westley believes it will be a tight affair when his West Ham United side face Newcastle United in the Premier League 2 Division 2 play-off final at St James' Park this evening.

The sides have met three times this season, with West Ham winning at home and drawing on Tyneside in PL2 before Newcastle knocked them out of the Premier League Cup with an extra-time winner.

"In fighting terms, you would class this as a 50/50 fight," Westley, who will welcome back striker Toni Martinez, pictured above, for the match, told whufc.com. "The pundits wouldn't know who is going to win.

"It's close and I think the game will pan out like that."
