As you were for Newcastle United as Eddie Howe sticks with winning team - NUFC v AFCB team news

Newcastle United and Bournemouth get the weekend underway in the 12:30pm kick-off at St James' Park live on TNT Sports.

Both sides are in fantastic form with Newcastle looking to make it ten wins in a row in all competitions. However, Bournemouth are also looking to make it 11 games unbeaten.

Alexander Isak is gunning for personal glory as he looks to score in his ninth consecutive game for the Magpies.

Bournemouth have been somewhat of a bogey team for Newcastle under Eddie Howe with just one win in six attempts, and that one coming in the Carabao Cup.

No changes to the starting XI for Eddie Howe's Newcastle

It's no surprise that Eddie Howe has stuck with the same starting XI that beat Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek. For us, the only change that may have happened would have been the return of Fabian Schar, but with Howe saying he wasn't fully recovered from his illness, we expected Sven Botman to keep his place.

Fabian Schar is back in the squad, however, taking up a spot on the bench at the expense of Emil Krafth.

That's the only change for the Magpies.

Bournemouth are missing a couple of key players

Bournemouth are without their record signing Evanilson and Luis Sinisterra which should make things a bit easier for Newcastle.

However, they do still have Toon target Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert who can cause some problems.

I've had a bad feeling about this one for a couple of days, mostly due to the Bournemouth hoodoo. We should be hammering these, but I've thought that every time we've played them and it hasn't happened yet.

HOWAY THE LADS, YOU CAN DO THIS! TEN IN A ROW!!
