West Ham United defender Ben Johnson hopes to see action against Newcastle United this weekend.

The Irons kickoff their Premier League campaign at St James' Park.

Johnson told whufc.com: "“It's going to be a great occasion. A lot of the boys have played there before when it's been it full, but I've not had the opportunity to experience that famous atmosphere created by about 50,000 fans.

“So, I'm looking forward to the first game I'll play up there in front of a full house, including a few thousand Hammers, who I am sure we will hear singing Bubbles up in the stand!

“It's going to be a tough one, obviously, as the opening-day fixtures are a challenge for every club because you don't know exactly what you're going to get from the opposition.

“It's going to be a good game for us. We've prepared well and as everyone saw we played really well and beat Atalanta last weekend, we've got a good squad and everyone here can't wait to get started.

“It's exciting times for this Club."
