- KO: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: Vitality Stadium
The Vitality Stadium is the venue for a Premier League contest on Sunday afternoon as an in-form Bournemouth take on Newcastle.
Newcastle United look to refocus on Premier League duties after a narrow Champions League defeat to Barcelona. Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth sit fourth with nine points, while the Magpies trail in 10th, four points behind.
Recent meetings have been entertaining with plenty of goalmouth action, and another high-paced clash is expected on the South Coast.

Bournemouth and Newcastle have met 15 times since 2015. Newcastle won five of those games while Bournemouth picked up four victories. Six games finished level while ten of their last 12 meetings saw both teams get on the scoresheet.
Bournemouth team overview
Bournemouth maintained their strong start to the season with a well-deserved 2:1 win against Brighton last weekend. Goals from Alex Scott and Antoine Semenyo secured the points for Andoni Iraola's side.
The Cherries have won each of their last three Premier League games since a 4:2 defeat at Liverpool in the opening weekend of the campaign. Bournemouth have won four of their last five PL games since the end of last season.
Strong on their own patch, Iraola's men won four of their last six home PL games, and they will fancy their chances against a Newcastle side that slipped to defeat against Barcelona in the Champions League on Thursday evening.
Head coach Iraola is likely to name the same side that edged past Brighton last weekend. Turkish forward Enes Unal remains a long-term absentee for the home side.

Newcastle team overview
Newcastle returns to Premier League action after a hard-fought 2:1 reversal against Barcelona in their return to the Champions League earlier this week. Anthony Gordon's late goal proved consolation only for the Magpies.
Eddie Howe's side have yet to find their best form this season, with just one win picked up from five fixtures, including four Premier League fixtures.
A poor run of form on the road has seen Newcastle fail to win any of their last five PL games since the end of last season. After Thursday's tough defeat against Barcelona, the visitors are likely to come under plenty of pressure against an in-form home side this weekend.
Head coach Howe could make some changes to the side that began Thursday's Champions League defeat. Nick Woltemade and Jacob Murphy are among those likely to earn recalls to the first XI.

Prediction
With more than a week to prepare, Bournemouth will fancy their chances against a potentially fatigued Newcastle side.
I fancy the Cherries to blossom with a vital victory at the Vitality Stadium.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Bournemouth to Win
- Bournemouth won 4 of their last 5 matches (Premier League)
- Bournemouth won 2 of their last 4 matches against Newcastle
- Newcastle failed to win their last 5 away matches (Premier League)
