Newcastle United hosts AFC Bournemouth in Premier League clash

Newcastle United is set to host AFC Bournemouth at St James’ Park for a Premier League matchday three fixture. Newcastle, managed by Matthias Jaissle, enters the game with momentum following a 2-2 draw against Liverpool and a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Despite a summer of significant squad changes—including 29 total transfers involving nine arrivals and 20 departures—the team has performed strongly under Jaissle.

Bournemouth, led by Marco Rose, seeks to improve on a start that has seen them collect only one point from two matches, including a loss to Manchester City and a draw against Everton. The Cherries have struggled with late goals conceded in recent fixtures.

Both squads face injury concerns. Newcastle is missing Dan Burn, Joelinton, and William Osula, while Tino Livramento remains a doubt. Bournemouth is without Amine Adli, Eli Junior Kroupi, Veljko Milosavljevic, and Julian Araujo. Historically, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is evenly split with eight wins each and eight draws.
