"Two Premier League clubs who will be looking to extend on their respective FA Cup adventures, Newcastle will welcome Bournemouth to St. James' Park on Saturday afternoon. Producing what was a stunning stoppage-time comeback against Leeds earlier in the week, Eddie Howe's men have enjoyed an impressive flurry on either side of opening the New Year and they will be hoping to make another statement here."
"Signing off 2025 with a routine 3-1 win away at relegation scrappers Burnley, Saturday's hosts have won each of their previous three Premier League appearances by an aggregate score of 9-4. Firing their way into the European spots, the former Bournemouth boss has also seen his resurgent squad register three straight top-flight wins so far this season. Looking to extend on their recent purple patch this weekend, Newcastle have also gained a fearsome reputation for their continued success at St. James' Park."
Newcastle host Bournemouth at St. James' Park seeking to extend FA Cup momentum into the league. Eddie Howe's side produced a stoppage-time comeback against Leeds and have won three successive Premier League matches, scoring nine and conceding four across those games. The Magpies have been dominant at home, remaining unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches at St. James' Park (10 wins, two draws) since late September. Bournemouth mounted their own last-gasp comeback to beat Tottenham and aim to build stability after a difficult period. Both teams enter the match buoyed by recent dramatic victories and looking to continue positive runs.
