Newcastle United are once again the subject of a 5:30pm Saturday kick-off today which is being shown live on TV.
Eddie Howe takes his side back to a club with which he is very familiar as Newcastle look to bounce back from a disappointing night in Germany in the Champions League.
A 2-2 draw has followed each of the last two Champions League games when we've returned to Premier League duty, so hopefully we can buck that trend before it picks up steam. We demolished Sheffield United 8-0 after our first Champions League outing, maybe we can go back to that.
Obviously, it's not going to be that easy with Newcastle missing so many players at the moment, but Bournemouth hardly have a clean bill of health either.
Callum Wilson faces a late fitness test to see whether he will be ok to face his old club, but beyond that ray of hope, Newcastle have 10 players missing.
It's going to be a tricky game but there's still more than enough quality in our squad to see this one through.
For the UK viewers, Sky Sports Premier League will be showing this one with coverage to start at 5pm.
For our overseas supporters, we have a list of channels showing the game thanks to liveonsat.com:
Enjoy the game!
