The Cherries are flying high after a blistering start to the season. Iraola’s men have collected three wins from their first four matches, with their only setback being a narrow defeat to Liverpool. Their front-foot approach and pressing style have unsettled opponents, and the Vitality crowd will believe they can extend their strong form against Howe’s men.
With attacking fluency and momentum on their side, Bournemouth look well-positioned to test Newcastle’s backline.

Newcastle’s summer frustrations in the transfer market have left them thin in certain positions, and a growing injury list isn’t helping their cause. Howe’s side have shown flashes of quality but inconsistency has plagued their start, leaving them mid-table.
Facing his former club adds extra narrative, but with the Magpies juggling injuries and a demanding fixture schedule, this trip could prove difficult.
