Newcastle United v Bournemouth: Premier League – live
Newcastle United host Bournemouth in the Premier League, a fixture that has recently favoured the visitors despite Newcastle's stronger current form. Bournemouth have won their last two league trips to St James' Park, while Newcastle head into the game buoyed by an encouraging start to the season under new manager Matthias Jaissle, who replaced Eddie Howe over the summer amid the departure of several key players.
Newcastle have taken four points from their opening fixtures, drawing 2-2 with Liverpool and beating Tottenham 2-0 away. Bournemouth, now managed by Marco Rose after Andoni Iraola's move to Liverpool, have yet to win under their new boss, having led late in matches before settling for a point in a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City and a 1-1 draw with Everton. Bournemouth's recent record at Newcastle includes a 2-1 win last season and a 4-1 victory in 2024/25, when Justin Kluivert scored a hat-trick.
In short
- Newcastle host Bournemouth in the Premier League on 5 September 2026.
