Newcastle Current Form – WWWWW
Newcastle have continued to impress this season. Eddie Howe’s side have (at the time of writing) won eight in a row in all competitions and look to be in devastatingly good form. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon have received a few plaudits this season, and we’ll take a close look at them in a second, but we need to mention Jacob Murphy here. his diverse movement and attacking threat are often lost amongst this Newcastle team, but what a player he has been for them!
It is bizarre that very few Newcastle predictions suggest they are a threat for a top four position. They are currently just off the Champions League placings and given their run of fixtures, they have a very real chance of breaking into the league’s top four.
Key Players to Watch
- Jacob Murphy: Murphy has seemingly been forgotten amongst the attacking threats in this Newcastle team, but he is enjoying an incredible season so far. His versatility is most impressive, through dynamic movement he plays as a wide attacking option but at times finds himself going through the centre and playing the role of a nine. He is one to watch for sure!
- Anthony Gordon: Yes, we are talking about Gordon again – and not to give too much away, but Isak is next! Anthony Gordon just looks to continue to grow in confidence in the league and at Newcastle. He continues to show his ability upfront for the Magpies and could be an important player once again here.
- Alexander Isak : There is no other option but to include Alexander Isak in any and all analysis of Newcastle’s ‘key players’. Isak has absolutely set the league alight this season, pundits have alluded to the fact that teams like Arsenal should break the proverbial bank to bring him in, and some have even suggested he might be the best out-and-out nine in England right now.
Newcastle Team News
Jamaal Lascelles (cruciate ligament injury) and Nick Pope (knee injury) are unavailable for Newcastle.
Bournemouth Current Form – WDDWW
Bournemouth have now been faced with injury concerns, and whilst it is certainly cause for concern, it is difficult to think they will be any less dangerous going forward. Judging by their team selection earlier this month, our Bournemouth predictions suggest the Cherries have seemingly thrown a lot of weight behind the FA Cup (and rightly so!), but one has to wonder how that will affect their endeavors in the league.
Andoni Iraola continues to impress many with his bullish approach to life at Bournemouth, and there is no denying that their attacking threats are second to none in England. Newcastle are no pushover, but if they have any defensive deficits on the day you can be rest assured their visitors are primed to pounce.
Key Players to Watch
- Antoine Semenyo: Semenyo has been relentless this season. He is another player who often features in all things concerned with Bournemouth but given the fact that he has been involved in so many of the chances they create upfront, there is no question that he will be one to watch here.
- Marcus Tavernier: He has been another attacking ace for the Cherries. A simple, direct and powerful player, Tavernier has been pivotal to Bournemouth’s attacking threat and together with Semenyo, he too has been integral to the visitors creating chances in the final third. He does return from injury, and so all at Bournemouth will be hoping he finds his best form as quickly as possible.
- Justin Kluivert: He is a tricky player who looks to have enjoyed his time at Bournemouth so far this season. His attacking threat is reflected in the fact that he wins so many more fouls than any other Bournemouth player in the league and leads the pack for goals scored this season for Bournemouth. Keep an eye on him here.
Bournemouth Team News
Marcos Senesi (thigh injury), Adam Smith (muscle injury), Alex Scott (meniscus injury), Enes Unal (cruciate ligament injury), Evanilson (broken foot), Julian Araujo (hamstring injury) and Luis Sinisterra (knock) are all injury concerns for Bournemouth ahead of this Prmeier League clash. The number of players sidelined for the Cherries is certainly cause for concern and adversely impacts the Bournemouth prediction!
