Newcastle preview: In fantastic form
Newcastle continued their excellent winning run when they played host to Wolves in midweek.
The hosts rode their luck at times but managed to come away with a 3-0 victory in the end and Swedish striker Alexander Isak chipped in with two of the goals and an assist for Anthony Gordon's goal.
Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Harvey Barnes and Nick Pope look set to remain on the sidelines for the Bournemouth game this weekend.

Bournemouth preview: Unbeaten in ten
Despite there being a bit of an injury-crises going on at the club, Bournemouth managed to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games in midweek when they made the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea took the lead early on but two second-half goals from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo looked to have won the Cherries all three points only for the home side to equalise deep into stoppage-time.
Francisco Evanilson, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Marcus Tavernier, Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra, Adam Smith, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Enes Unal and James Hill all look set to miss the trip to St James' Park due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Travers (GK), Kluivert, Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Huijsen, Christie, Cook, Brooks, Adams, Semenyo & Ouattara

Player to watch – Anthony Gordon
Newcastle's flying winger Anthony Gordon has been in excellent form of late and we're backing him to put in another impressive performance this weekend.
The scouser, who has scored in each of Newcastle's last four matches across all competitions, has chipped in with six league goals and four assists so far this season.
The Newcastle winger is in great form right now
With Gordon and Isak playing at the top of their game, Newcastle look fantastic in the final third and even though Bournemouth are enjoying an impressive unbeaten run of their own, we expect Newcastle to come out on top at St James' Park.
