The 23-year-old left the Magpies for Liverpool in January 2011 in a deal worth £35million, but he was sent out on loan to the Hammers at the beginning of this campaign.
Andy Carroll: "I am looking forward to going home.
"I went back with Liverpool and I got a few boos and a bit of stick but it was all good.
"I want to go back now and hopefully win this time because last time I went we were beaten."
Former Toon midfielder Kevin Nolan believes that Carroll will produce a string of goals once he finds the net for the first time in a Hammers shirt.
Kevin Nolan: "I don't think Andy has got a point to prove to anybody.
"Once that first goal comes the floodgates will open."
