Newcastle United hosts Bournemouth at St James' Park on Saturday in Matchday 3 of the 2026-27 Premier League season.
Matthias Jaissle's side enters the match unbeaten in three competitive games, including a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend after drawing 2-2 with Liverpool in its league opener.
Newcastle has four points from two Premier League matches but has faced the most shots (44) in the EPL to date. The Magpies are winless in their last eight league meetings with Bournemouth, including defeats in the last two at St James' Park, but the difference is that Eddie Howe is no longer around and the trend could easily change.
