Match preview

Newcastle head into this clash in a turbulent spell, with pressure building on Eddie Howe. Their latest setback—a 1–2 defeat to Crystal Palace after conceding twice late—extended their losing streak to three in all competitions and four defeats in their last six league matches, leaving them stuck in mid-table.

A major concern is their inability to see games out: the Magpies have already lost seven matches this season after going ahead—a club-record figure. Still, games at St. James’ Park remain lively affairs, with both teams scoring in each of their last seven home fixtures.

Bournemouth, by contrast, arrive full of confidence. Andoni Iraola’s side edged Arsenal 2–1 in their previous match, stretching their unbeaten Premier League run to 12 games, including six away fixtures without defeat.

The Cherries look disciplined and composed, conceding just three goals across their last six away matches while maintaining a sharp counter-attacking threat. They’ve also proven to be a difficult opponent for Newcastle, who have failed to beat Bournemouth in their last seven league meetings.

Probable lineups

Newcastle United: Ramsdale, Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Miley, Tonali, Ramsey, Barnes, Osula, Gordon.

Bournemouth: Petrovic, Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffer, Christie, Scott, Ryan, Krupi, Tavernier, Evanilson.
