Bournemouth vs Newcastle United – Predicted lineup and team news

Bournemouth welcome Newcastle to the Vitality Stadium on Sunday in superb form, riding a three-match winning streak that has lifted them into the Premier League’s top four.

Andoni Iraola’s side is full of confidence and will be aiming to win a fourth successive top-flight game for the first time since 2018. The Cherries are also unbeaten in their last six league games against the Magpies, giving them a significant psychological edge.

With their last outing coming eight days ago, the well-rested squad will look to capitalise on the visitors’ potential fatigue following their Champions League exploits in midweek. This represents a golden opportunity for the south coast outfit to solidify their excellent start to the season.

Bournemouth team news

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed that midfielder Ryan Christie is available for Sunday’s match against Newcastle. The midfielder has returned to full training after missing last weekend’s game against Brighton. Defender Bafodé Diakité is also in contention and is expected to be part of the squad, though he may face a late fitness test.

However, the Cherries will remain without the injured duo of Enes Ünal and Adam Smith. The attack is in scintillating form, led by Antoine Semenyo. The winger has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other player so far this season.
