Bournemouth preview: A few absentees
Andoni Iraola will be without four players for this one, with Enes Unal, Adam Smith, Bafode Diakite and Ryan Christie all expected to miss out through injury. An identical team to the one that started against Brighton wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
Predicted lineup: Petrovic (GK), Hill, Milosavljevic, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Adams, Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks, Evanilson
Last five results
- Bournemouth 2-1 Brighton
- Tottenham 0-1 Brighton
- Bournemouth 0-2 Brentford
- Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
- Liverpool 4-2 Bournemouth
Newcastle preview: Shuffling the pack
Eddie Howe will almost certainly rotate given the short turnaround between their Champions League clash with Barcelona and this one. Two of their summer signings, Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey, are ruled out through injury, but Nick Woltemade should return to the starting XI.
Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes
Last five results
- Newcastle 1-2 Barcelona
- Newcastle 1-0 Wolves
- Leeds 0-0 Newcastle
- Newcastle 2-3 Liverpool
- Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle
Player to watch: Nick Woltemade
Nick Woltemade would have been slightly disappointed to have started the match against Barcelona on the bench on Thursday night, especially as the German scored on his debut for the Magpies last weekend. Woltemade should return to the team for this one and will be keen to make it two goals in two Premier League appearances.
