Newcastle United travel to Bournemouth on Wednesday evening with both sides hoping to improve on their last Premier League outing.

Bournemouth sit 18th in the table and in danger of relegation, level on points with West Ham and Aston Villa after two recent defeats.

The Cherries’ attacking play has been particularly poor since the restart and Eddie Howe will be looking for a big improvement.

As for Newcastle, Steve Bruce will be hoping the players can put the distraction of takeover talk to one side to keep closing the gap to the top half.

Prediction

Bournemouth’s woeful lack of attacking intent means they’ve barely laid a glove on opponents since the league’s restart and, potentially without their two main strikers, it’s difficult to see that changing here.

Newcastle look more solid, more adventurous when their attacking players are on the pitch and are free from the pressures of worrying about the drop.
