Bournemouth v Newcastle United preview: Team news, head-to-head, stats and prediction

Bournemouth could give a debut to Ukrainian centre-back Illia Zabarnyi, who joined on deadline day.

Head coach Gary O'Neil has confirmed that goalkeeper Neto has replaced Lloyd Kelly as captain, with Adam Smith remaining vice-captain.

Alexander Isak returns for Newcastle after missing out last week because of concussion protocols.

Bruno Guimaraes serves the second game of a three-match ban, and the Magpies are without injured trio Emil Krafth, Javier Manquillo and Matt Targett.

New signing Anthony Gordon awaits his first start.

CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION

Bournemouth are absolutely desperate for a win because right now they look like relegation fodder with the awful run of results they have been on.
