How to watch Bournemouth v Newcastle United: Streaming details plus early team and injury news

Eddie Howe’s side overcame Southampton in their Premier League opener at St James’ Park on Saturday afternoon with a spirited performance having been reduced to ten men in the first-half. Joelinton’s strike before the break was enough for all three points as they ended the first weekend of games sat in 8th place.

This weekend they face a long trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth - a side they have found it difficult against in recent times. The Magpies are winless in their last four league meetings with Bournemouth and were soundly beaten 2-0 in this fixture last season.
