# Newcastle Predicted XI: Bournemouth (A)

Newcastle face yet another vital clash in the Premier League this weekend as they make the long trip down south to Bournemouth.

The Magpies have endured a difficult season so far but following their 1-0 win over Manchester United two weeks ago, they have a chance to push on with a win against the Cherries.

Newcastle could move above Bournemouth and into the top half of the Premier League with a win, but they are also at risk of dropping as low as 18th and back into the relegation zone with a defeat. It’s extremely tight in the bottom half of the table.

Rafa Benitez will know that he must get his tactics spot on when his side travel to the Vitality Stadium, with a win sure to come as a huge boost.

Here’s how we expect Newcastle to line up on Saturday.
