2026/27 Premier League
Matchday 3
Newcastle United v Bournemouth
St James Park, Newcastle
Saturday 5 September, 13:30
Newcastle United will look to build on their early-season momentum when they welcome Bournemouth to St James Park for a Premier League clash on the afternoon of Saturday 5 September, kick-off at 13:30.
Form
Newcastle’s good start to the 2026/27 campaign has seen them hold Liverpool 2-2 in their Premier League opener, defeat West Bromwich Albion 3-2 in the EFL Cup, and then claim a 2-0 away win over Tottenham Hotspur this past weekend – with goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa.
Bournemouth have taken just a point from their two league matches thus far, suffering a 2-1 away loss at the hands of Manchester City, followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Everton this past weekend. In both matches, the Cherries conceded a result-changing game in injury time.
Team news
Dan Burn, Joelinton and William Osula all remain sidelined for Newcastle, while Bournemouth will be without Eli Junior Kroupi, Julian Araujo, Veljko Milosavljevic and Amine Adli.
Head-to-head
Newcastle and Bournemouth have met in 24 matches across all competitions. Both the Magpies and the Cherries have claimed eight wins, while eight games have been drawn.
In the Premier League last season, Bournemouth took four points off Newcastle with a 0-0 home draw and 2-1 away win. However, the Magpies defeated the Cherries 10-9 on penalties (after a 3-3 draw) in an FA Cup tie.
Quotes
Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle on the energy from his players this season: “It’s not only Wissa and Anthony, it’s all the players. We think we are here to improve them and encourage them and they deliver their best and we can trigger their full potential.
“We are realistic. We have high ambitions, and we know what is needed, but the squad is strong.”
