Eddie Howe’s side return to Premier League action this weekend after defeating Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon with the aim of maintaining their unbeaten start to the season. The Magpies have picked up four points from their first two Premier League games and progressed in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, albeit due to a penalty shootout.
Spurs, meanwhile, have also picked up a win and a draw so far and were 4-0 victors against Everton last weekend. Ange Postecoglou’s side will be keen to avenge their 4-0 defeat on Tyneside back in April - one that all but ended their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
