Newcastle vs Bournemouth preview
Newcastle United host Bournemouth at St James’ Park on September 5, 2026, in the English Premier League. Newcastle enter the match with four points from their opening two fixtures, having drawn 2-2 with Liverpool before securing a 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur under new manager Matthias Jaissle. Bournemouth, managed by Marco Rose, are seeking their first win of the campaign after a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City and a 1-1 draw with Everton.
Newcastle will be without Dan Burn, Joelinton, and William Osula due to injury, while Tino Livramento is also expected to miss out. Nico Gonzalez is set to continue in the Newcastle midfield alongside Lewis Miley following his debut against Tottenham. For the visitors, Alex Scott remains a key figure in midfield, having scored the opening goal in their recent draw against Everton. While Newcastle have shown early promise under Jaissle, they have struggled in recent meetings with the Cherries, failing to win any of their last eight Premier League encounters against them. In the United Kingdom, the match is scheduled to be broadcast on TNT Sports 1.
