Is Newcastle United v Bournemouth on TV? Will Allan Saint-Maximin and Bruno Guimaraes be fit to play?

The Cherries remain without a manager after parting company with former Magpie Scott Parker last month following their 9-0 defeat at Anfield.

Although they have lost their manager and suffered that humiliation against Liverpool, Bournemouth’s return to the Premier League has started off fairly well and they sit level on points with their opponents heading into the weekend’s game.

This will be the first time Eddie Howe has managed against his former club since he left the Vitality Stadium at the end of the 2019/20 season.

Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser could also make an appearance against their old side for the first time since making the switch to St James’s Park in 2020.
