Newcastle could climb into third in the Premier League as they welcome Bournemouth to Tyneside bidding to continue their strong recent run.

Nine consecutive wins in all competitions has matched Newcastle’s club record and with Alexander Isak in fluent scoring form, Eddie Howe will have full confidence that his side can continue to climb the table. Victory here would take them above Nottingham Forest and just two points behind Arsenal, who play later on Saturday.

But Bournemouth, Howe’s former club, have also enjoyed their action of late, with nine games unbeaten a show of the solidity that Andoni Iraola has instilled in his squad. They came within seconds of beating Chelsea in their midweek action only for Reece James to strike in stoppage time, but the manner of the performance at Stamford Bridge will give them confidence after a long trip north for another tricky away fixture.

Cook is found in acres of space down the right, he finds Ouattara but Burn does well to narrow the angle and block the eventual shot. Excellent defending from the Newcastle defender.

Some Bournemouth pressure deep in Newcastle's half is lost after Joelinton wins a foul on the edge of the penalty area. The Cherries still look dangerous going forward despite that setback.

Another worry for Bournemouth as Semenyo goes down and receives treatment for the knock earlier. Iraola will hope he can shake it off and continue, considering their injury worries elsewhere.

Newcastle's first opportunity of the match sees Guimaraes tee up Joelinton to curl a first time effort at goal on the edge of the penalty area but it goes way over the crossbar. The Magpies are starting to get going now.

Howe has been in charge of all 13 Premier League meetings between Newcastle and Bournemouth – he’s won just two of these 13 games and is yet to beat his former side as Magpies manager.

12:48

The resulting free kick is whipped in by Gordon but headed out by Ouattara. The away side look to break quickly but Livramento steers Newcastle out of danger as the last man and begins an attack.

Adams is penalised for a crunching challenge on Guimaraes. The American is adamant he won the ball but gets a stern telling off from the referee.

12:45

The early press from the Cherries is disrupting Newcastle's flow in possession and not allowing them to move up the pitch quickly enough. The likes of Gordon and Isak have barely been on the ball so far.

A slick move by Bournemouth and Justin Kluivert arrives in the box to sweep the ball into the far corner. Lovely move!

Bournemouth have won seven, drawn one and lost just one of their league matches this season after taking the lead. Newcastle must be wary.

Semenyo makes another brilliant run down the left, beating Livramento for pace before Tonali concedes the corner. The Bournemouth forward seems to have picked up a knock in the process but looks fine to continue. Nothing comes from the corner.

Four of the last five Premier League meetings between Newcastle and Bournemouth have ended level, with the Cherries winning the other 2-0 in November 2023.

Bournemouth are massively struggling with injuries, with James Hill the latest casualty after coming off against Chelsea. He joins the likes of Evanilson, Enes Unal, Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra and Marcos Sensei who are out. Adam Scott also misses out, meaning Cook fills in at right back. Kepa was ineligble to start against his parent club Chelsea during the week but returns to the side in the place of Travers.

Howe selects the exact same side that defeated Wolves three days earlier, with Schar returning to the bench after suffering from an illness. The Magpies remain without Callum Wilson and Jamal Lascelles through injury, with Harvey Barnes now joining them on the treatment table after picking up a muscle problem against Bromley in the FA Cup last week. Almiron makes the bench despite speculation linking him to a move away.

Bournemouth extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions with a 2-2 draw away to Chelsea, though were minutes away from their first victory at Stamford Bridge since 2019 until Reece James scored a late free kick. Despite Andoni Iraola’s side missing the opportunity to move to within two points of their opponents today, they are still just four points behind and remain in contention for a European berth this season. They sit eighth in the table and have scored two goals in each of their last five away matches, however they are winless in their last four visits to Newcastle, with their previous win coming in November 2017 when Howe was manager.

12:00

Newcastle will aim for a club-record 10 consecutive wins across all competitions if they manage to beat Bournemouth this lunchtime. Their incredible run of form continued in midweek with a comfortable 3-0 win over Wolves with Alexander Isak again on the scoresheet with a brace. He became just the fourth player in the division’s history to score in eight successive matches. They sit in fourth place, five points behind Arsenal in second and nine points off league leaders Liverpool who have a game in hand. Despite their blistering form, they have never kept a Premier League clean sheet at home to Bournemouth in six attempts and head coach Eddie Howe will be wary of the threat of the away side.
