The Magpies are absolutely flying having won nine on the trot in all competitions. It’s Bournemouth at St. James’ Park on the docket in the early match today. The question is can Eddie Howe finally defeat his old club for Newcastle’s tenth straight win.
The Cherries have been exceptional this term under Andoni Iraola. They sit 8th in the table and defeated Newcastle earlier in the campaign. Hopefully, a raucous home crowd can push the lads to keep the winning streak alive.
Unsurprisingly, Howe has named an unchanged side today.

Comment #87Can`t see this game ending 1-1 as both teams going for the jugular, not good for the blood pressure, but a terrific watch.

Comment #96That was terrible
Burn Hall and Botmans lack of pace being ruthlessly exposed
Would be better with Kelly for this type of game at least he has pace
Probably lucky Bournemouth have 2 strikers injured

Comment #111Miley and Willock need to come on
Willock will add some pace to our slow midfield and Miley can add a bit more composure on the ball
We just can’t handle their pace

Comment #114Dan burn time and time, passing out from the back, not finding his man, putting us under pressure, that pass to Bruno was never on, but donkey Dan passed it anyways, get him of to fook, and schar on, someone who can pass.

Comment #119Bournemouth are matching our intensity so this is where plan b comes in to win the game.
Some think going 5 5 0 is plan b ffs seeing out a game is not plan b.
Going to a plan b to come from behind and win when struggling is plan b

Comment #120The scary thing is Bournemouth EASILY look like they have even another goal in them yet.
Isak is nowhere to be seen. So many of them are nowhere to be seen.
