Newcastle United can make it an impressive 10 wins in a row this weekend but will have to get past an impressive Bournemouth to do so.

After enjoying back-to-back wins in cup competition last week, Newcastle United kept their hot streak going when they returned to Premier League action on Wednesday.

Eddie Howe’s side comfortably dispatched relegation strugglers Wolves 3-0, with Alexander Isak bagging himself another brace as Anthony Gordon added the third.

The victory has seen Newcastle finally climb into the top four in the Premier League table and they’ll be looking to establish themselves there with a win over Bournemouth.

However, that will be far from easy and here is everything you need to know about the fixture.

Newcastle United vs Bournemouth team news

Fabian Schar missed Wednesday’s victory with illness but there’s hope he will be fit to return for Saturday and there were no fresh injury concerns coming out of the match.

Nick Pope is closing in on recovery but it’s not clear if he’ll be able to dislodge the in-form Martin Dubravka when he is back.

Harvey Barnes, Callum Wilson and Jamaal Lascelles remain unavailable.

Meanwhile, the Cherries have a lengthy injury list and could be without up to nine players with Evanilson, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Marcus Tavernier, Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra, Adam Smith, Enes Unal and James Hill all injured.

Predictions

Even with their litany of injuries, Bournemouth have remained a dangerous and competitive team that only didn’t beat Chelsea on Tuesday because of a last gasp equaliser.

They are eighth in the table and haven’t lost since November 23, which makes them Newcastle’s toughest test yet in their winning run.

This is set to be a scintillating match that is tough to call given the qualities of both sides and it wouldn’t be surprising if it ended all square.

Prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth.
