A place in the Quarter-Finals is on the line as the Cherries make the long trip to the north east. Newcastle have defeated Tranmere Rovers and Crystal Palace to make it to this stage whilst Bournemouth saw off Norwich City and Everton.
This is the first competitive game back for Newcastle following the break for the World Cup in Qatar with the Magpies having had friendly matches against Al-Hilal and Rayo Vallecano during that time.
Saturday’s game with Vallecano offered a glimpse into what team Eddie Howe might select for the game with Bournemouth - but will Howe stick with the side that started the friendly win? Or will he opt to mix it up against his former club?
Here, we take a look at the starting side Howe could pick to face Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup:
5. LB: Matt Targett
Targett may be asked to feature at left back once again if the Magpies decide not to risk Dan Burn. Targett started in the last round against Crystal Palace and dealt with their threats well. Photo: Stu Forster
6. CM: Sean Longstaff
Longstaff opened the scoring at the weekend and is a very reliable option in the middle of the park. Photo: Stu Forster
7. CM: Jonjo Shelvey
Shelvey made his first start this season against Palace last time out in the cup. Having featured against Rayo Vallecano at the weekend and with Bruno Guimaraes just coming back from duty in Qatar, Shelvey may be asked to start in the Carabao Cup yet again. Photo: Stu Forster
8. CM: Joe Willock
After a slow start on Saturday, Willock burst into life in the second-half and really staked his claim for a starting spot against Bournemouth. Photo: Stu Forster
