Bournemouth have got off to a flying start in the new Premier League season and will look to kick on with it when they host Newcastle United at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday. The Cherries have won three and lost one in four league outings so far while the Magpies have been victorious only once thus far.
Andoni Iraola's men have seemingly picked up from where they left off last season. Although they suffered a loss to Liverpool in the opening gameweek, Bournemouth have shown plenty of character to beat the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion subsequently.
Newcastle United are a side that the Cherries have consistently gotten the better of in recent meetings. They are unbeaten in their last five meetings with the Magpies and they will play hosts on Sunday with a spring in their steps as they look to consolidate their position near the summit.
Trending
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe's men have had quite a bumpy start to the new campaign, winning just one of their five matches in all competitions. They went winless in their first three gameweeks before finally managing to taste victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
It was a narrow 1-0 win and it came from debutant Nick Woltemade. However, they fell right back into the jaws of defeat in midweek as a brilliant Marcus Rashford brace helped Barcelona pick up a 2-1 win over them at St James' Park.
Owing to their poor recent record against the Cherries and their inconsistency in the early days of the new campaign, Howe's men have their work cut out for them on Sunday.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Prediction
Bournemouth have been one of the teams to watch in the opening weeks of the new Premier League season. Newcastle are yet to get going and have come up short against the Cherries quite often of late.
This should still be a tight game but the Cherries currently have enough wind in their sails to capsize the Magpies.
