The confirmed Newcastle United team v Bournemouth has now been announced.

Eddie Howe’s side hoping to bounce back to winning form.

Premier League victories over Manchester United and Chelsea.

Then defeats to Sunderland and Palace.

A big game today as United hope to finish strongly in the final six matches of the season.

A tight table means the European places are still attainable, Newcastle six points off sixth.

Newcastle United team v Bournemouth:

Ramsdale, Livramento, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Miley, Tonali, Ramsey, Osula, Barnes, Elanga

Three changes to the Newcastle United team that started against Crystal Palace.

Pope, Trippier, Wissa, Jacob Murphy, Alex Murphy, Woltemade, Willock, Burn, Bruno

Great to see Bruno Guimaraes back in the matchday squad after a lengthy absence, hopefully he will be able tp play some part in today’s game.
