    David: Very surprised to see Dan Burn retaining his place, given how badly he played against Villa and NUFC have a ready-made left back on the bench in the form of Targett.

    I gave Gary O'Neil his debut at Portsmouth. I think he was only about 16. They Bournemouth have had a really good run of results recently and fingers crossed they continue that run.

    Gary is a very inexperienced manager when you look at the league. So to stick with him, it's great that they've done that and hopefully the return in form will keep them in the league.

    I might be biased here, but we want to see English managers come through and stay at the top level. We want those managers to stay in jobs to show English coaches and mangers are worth their weight in gold!

    Bournemouth v West Ham (14:00 BST)

    Bournemouth have won five of their last nine Premier League games, more than they had managed in their opening 22 games (four wins).

    They are vying to win three consecutive top-flight fixtures in the same season for the first time since March 2016.

    Newcastle v Tottenham (14:00 BST)

    Tottenham boss Cristian Stellini is bracing to play at "one of the worst stadiums in the Premier League" for away teams as he brings his side north to St James' Park to face Newcastle on Sunday.

    Spurs are three points behind their fourth-placed hosts, having played a game more, in the race for Champions League qualification.

    It is a game they cannot afford to lose but were beaten by the Magpies in the reverse fixture.

    "It'll be tough," he said. "This is one of the worst stadiums to play at because of the atmosphere's power.

    "But we have a good squad and I believe in the players and the club. We're prepared."

    Newcastle v Tottenham (14:00 BST)

    Spurs have lost five of six league matches this season against sides currently in the top four, with the exception a 1-0 home win against Manchester City on 5 February.

    Tottenham are winless in six away games in all competitions since beating Preston 3-0 in the FA Cup on 28 January (D2, L4). It is their longest such streak since an eight-match run from August to November 2019 at the end of Mauricio Pochettino's tenure.

    They have not won a league match outside of London since beating Bournemouth 3-2 on 29 October. Since then they have taken two points from a possible 15 outside the capital, conceding 13 goals.

    Nicholas: I think a Newcastle win ends our top-four hopes which we don't actually deserve. I don't want Champions League just to make our investors happy.

    In the last hour of their draw with Arsenal, West Ham looked more like the team they were in the previous two seasons. I was impressed.

    But Bournemouth continue to prove me wrong, with their results and performances, and last week's win over Tottenham makes me think they are going to stay up. That was such a huge moment for them.

    Chris Sutton's prediction: 0-0

    The Fabio Paratici saga is an example of one of many things that has gone wrong at Tottenham this season.

    They now have the perfect opportunity to address that situation and impact the club positively going forward.

    Tottenham acting head coach Cristian Stellini says the resignation of managing director of football Fabio Paratici will not affect the team.

    The 50-year-old lost his appeal against a 30-month ban, which was extended "to have worldwide effect" by Fifa, from Italian football.

    Paratici was banned after Juventus, where he was sporting director and managing director, were found guilty of false accounting.

    "It's not a shock," said Stellini.

    "It's been a couple of weeks that Fabio was not here, we are well prepared. Nothing changes in this situation.

    "But humanly we're very close to Fabio, all of us. It was a tough period for him and now the final result is very sad for everyone, for him and his family.

    "All my heart is with him."

    Tottenham are a massive club and they have to be in the top four.

    When I look at them now, one week you think they'll win and the next you're not so sure.

    Harry Kane is massive for the club but imagine if he hadn't been playing. Where would Tottenham be without his goals?

    Romelu Lukaku has just scored twice as Inter Milan beat Empoli 3-0 to keep their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League (through the league) alive.

    The last time he scored twice in a club match was for Chelsea in their 2-2 draw with Wolves last May.

    Newcastle are vying to complete a league double against Tottenham for the first time since the 2015-16 season, in which the Magpies were relegated.

    Spurs have won six of their eight most recent top-flight matches at St James' Park (D1, L1), including a 3-2 victory last season.

    This is another quick turnaround for West Ham, who beat Gent on Thursday night to reach the Europa Conference League semi-finals.

    With about a month of the season left they are fighting to win a first trophy since 1980 - and also battling to try to stay in the top flight.

    "Every game, as a manager, you go in feeling a level of pressure," Moyes said.

    "Whether you're up the top looking for points to win a title or down the bottom needing points to stay up.

    "Since the World Cup, our level has been much better. We're scoring more goals and we need to keep that up."

    Eddie Howe says Sunday's game against top-four rivals Tottenham is huge for Newcastle and "what we crave as professionals".

    "It's a huge game for us," Howe said. "No denying that at this stage of the season with the games running out.

    "We’re playing one of our competitors in the league so it’s a big moment in our season. We’re pleased to be at home and we hope we can feel the force of the crowd this week.

    "It’s what we crave as professionals. You want the big games, you want the big occasions and you want it to mean something. We’re determined to express ourselves in the best way possible.

    "We want the occasion to galvanise us, we don’t want to play with any fear or restraints and we want to give the best us."

    Howe was asked if he would agree with those saying Sunday's game is the biggest for Newcastle in the Premier League in the season.

    "I wouldn’t have an issue with anyone saying that," he said. "I think it is. It's a cliche but it's our next game. It's what's ahead of us that's important.

    "We have risen to these types of games this season. Hopefully we can find another gear again."

    Kieran Trippier is a very calm character. He'll enjoy facing his former team today.

    He's grown massively since I played with him at Burnley - both for England and for his club. He seems to be accepting plenty of responsibility now.

    He's become a leader at Newcastle.

    Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil: "A lot of work still to do over the next six weeks to make sure that we do achieve what we set out to, and it would be a big achievement.

    "I'm looking forward to getting back home. We've had two away games on the trot. It will be a very tough game against a West Ham side that can be stubborn and hard to break down.

    "So we'll need a good atmosphere here on Sunday and will try to make sure the lads are in a real good place to go and attack the game, and make the Vitality what it can be when it gets bouncing.

    "I'd be very surprised if West Ham turn up here at anything less that 100% full throttle and ready to go. It's a very important game for them as well as it is for us."
