Here is the latest Newcastle United and Bournemouth injury and team news ahead of Saturday’s Premier League encounter at the Vitality Stadium (5:30pm kick-off).

Fourth placed Newcastle travel to face Eddie Howe’s former club Bournemouth this evening in a bid to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 17 matches. The Cherries currently sit 19th in the table and haven’t won a match since returning to action after the World Cup break.

The Magpies have played Bournemouth twice already this season. The sides played out a 1-1 draw at St James’s Park back in September and Newcastle secured a narrow 1-0 home win in the Carabao Cup back in December on their route to the final.

Alexander Isak scored a penalty in the reverse league fixture between the sides and is back in contention after missing last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with West Ham United due to a concussion.

Bournemouth boss Gary O’Neil also has several injury issues of his own for the match.
