Five things to look out for as Newcastle welcome Bournemouth

Rafa Benitez simply loves Saturday games at home in the Premier League.

He loves them so much, in fact, that he has won the last 31 fixtures at home on the day.

The Newcastle fans are loving life back in the Premier League, and their ambition reaches beyond a comfortable top 10 position after 10 games.

With Amanda Staveley’s proposed takeover bid reportedly set to end the Toon nightmare of Mike Ashley’s dreaded ownership, the Geordies are currently looking on the brighter side of life.

But before they can get carried away with their positive thinking, they have to overcome a Bournemouth side suffering from rather indifferent form over the last few games.

Eddie Howe’s side are showing signs of struggle, and need to find a result to kickstart their Premier League campaign, and to remain within the top flight once more.

Here are five things to look out for at St. James’ Park.
