How to watch Newcastle United vs Bournemouth? TV channel, team news & more

Newcastle United are aiming for their TENTH consecutive win across all competitions when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The early December capitulation at Brentford seems like ancient history right now as Sandro Tonali has shackled down a spot as orchestrator of the United midfielder and frontman Alexander Isak cement his place at the very top table of world strikers with a remarkable EIGHT-game scoring streak in the top flight.

A win on Saturday would see the Magpies cement their spot in fourth place, with dreams of a Champions League return very much alive and kicking past the half way mark of the campaign.

A win for the opposition would open things up, however, with Adoni Iraola’s men just four points behind the Magpies before kick-off, sitting back in eighth place.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash.
