After their 4-1 win at St. James’ Park in January, Bournemouth could win back-to-back league meetings with Newcastle United for just the second time in their history, after November 2017. The Cherries are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games versus the Magpies (W2 D4).

Newcastle have only lost one of their seven Premier League visits to Bournemouth (W2 D4), a loss rate of 14%. Among sides they have visited as many or more times in the competition, only at Wolves (10%) and Nottingham Forest (0%) have they lost a lower percentage of away games.

After a 4-2 opening day defeat to Liverpool, Bournemouth have won each of their last three games in the Premier League; the Cherries have won four successive games in the competition twice before, in December 2023 and August 2018 under current Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.

Newcastle United have gone three away Premier League games without scoring (D2 L1), with the last two ending goalless. The Magpies last went four in a row without an away goal in December and January in the 2020-21 season, while Leicester in 1976-77 are the only side to draw each of their first three away top-flight matches in a season goalless.

Only Wolverhampton Wanderers (23) have used more players in the Premier League so far this season than Bournemouth (22), though only Nottingham Forest (1) have made fewer changes to their starting XIs this term than the Cherries (2).

No side has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League this season than Newcastle (3), while the Magpies also have the lowest expected goals against total (2.1).

Newcastle (31) and Bournemouth (29) are two of the three sides with the most high turnovers recorded in the Premier League so far this season, while the pair rank first and second for pressed sequences in the competition (Newcastle – 57, Bournemouth – 49). 

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has never beaten former side Bournemouth in six attempts in the Premier League (D4 L2), one of three teams he’s faced in the competition and is yet to beat, along with Luton (D1 L1) and Man City (D2 L16). The only manager to take charge of more games against a former Premier League side without winning is Rafael Benítez against Liverpool (7 games).

No player has been involved in more Premier League goals this season than Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo (5 – 3 goals, 2 assists), while only Cody Gakpo (5) has created more chances following a carry than his four.

Newcastle’s Kieran Trippier has made more passes that have broken the defensive line than any other player in the Premier League this season (9).
