Bournemouth vs Newcastle LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture today

Strugglers Bournemouth host Newcastle United this afternoon as Eddie Howe’s side aim to kickstart their hopes of Premier League survival.

The Cherries have suffered back-to-back defeats since the restart, leaving them inside the relegation zone on goal difference. A victory would lift them to 16th in the table, but Bournemouth still face a tricky run-in, with games against Manchester United, Tottenham, Leicester and Manchester City still to come.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have secured their future in the top-flight, although the club is still consumed by uncertainty as their takeover saga rumbles on. Steve Bruce’s side returned with an emphatic victory over Sheffield United but have lost momentum recently with a draw against Aston Villa and last weekend’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester City.
