Newcastle United XI vs Bournemouth – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Eddie Howe takes his Newcastle United side to the south coast on Sunday to face a formidable Bournemouth team.

The Magpies must quickly overcome the physical and mental toll of a draining midweek Champions League defeat to Barcelona as they prepare to take on one of the Premier League‘s most in-form teams.

The fixture holds extra significance for the manager. Eddie Howe has famously never beaten his former club Bournemouth in six previous attempts as an opposition manager. Breaking that personal hoodoo will be just as important as securing three vital points for his inconsistent side, which has struggled for rhythm in the opening weeks of the season.

Newcastle team news

Eddie Howe’s squad is being stretched to its limits by a mounting injury and suspension crisis.

Winger Anthony Gordon is still serving a three-game ban following his red card against Liverpool, while Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey remain out with long-term injuries.

Furthermore, the Newcastle defence is a concern. Key players Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schär both face late fitness tests after picking up knocks against Barcelona. Their potential absence could force Lewis Hall and Malick Thiaw into the starting lineup for this crucial away game.
