Newcastle United open Saturday’s Premier League action determined to assert control at St. James’ Park following an eventful start to the new campaign. Matthias Jaissle’s side have impressed so far as the club rebuild after a tranformative transfer window.
Bournemouth make the long journey north eager to execute their proactive, high-tempo blueprint under Marco Rose. If Bournemouth’s backline can withstand pressure and distribute cleanly out from the back, they possess the pace to pose real danger on the break.
Here’s how the sides line up on Tyneside this lunchtime.
Newcastle team news
Newcastle’s team news is very straightforward – they are unchanged from the win at Tottenham.
England full-back Tino Livramento is fit enough to take his place on the bench, with new attacker Matias Fernandez-Pardo.
Newcastle United have named an unchanged starting XI in the Premier League for the first time this year, having previously done so for their 2025 Boxing Day game at Manchester United.
Newcastle XI: Horníček, Dedić, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Miley, González, Elanga, Willock, Barnes, Wissa
Bournemouth team news
Just the one change for the Cherries as USA international Tyler Adams steps into midfield in place of Lewis Cook.
In the last two seasons, Bournemouth have conceded the most set piece goals in the Premier League (28), with the Cherries conceding from a corner in both games so far this season.
Bournemouth XI: Petrović, Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert, Adams, Scott, Rayan, Kluivert, Tavernier, Evanilson
