Newcastle will be keen to have Fabian Schar back this weekend after he missed the win over Wolves due to illness. Jamaal Lascelles is also still out at centre-back, while Nick Pope is still out with a knee injury.
Injury-prone Harvey Barnes finds himself in the treatment room again after sustaining a thigh injury during the weekend's league win over Bromley. FA Cup. He is expected to be out for a month, while Callum Wilson remains unavailable due to a hamstring problem as well.

Bournemouth are enduring an injury crisis, with James Hill joining the treatment room following a midweek trip to Chelsea. He joins fellow right-back Julian Araujo and Adam Smith on the bench, with Marcos Sensi also absent in defence.
Alex Scott, Enes Unal and Evanilson are all long-term absentees having each undergone surgery, although the former is close to returning. Marcus Tavernier and Luis Sinistra are also sidelined, leaving Iraola short of attacking options.

With Newcastle in great form and Bournemouth plagued by injuries, Eddie Howe's side should achieve a record tenth successive win in all competitions. The Cherries fielded a bench made up almost entirely of young players against Chelsea and their threadbare squad is likely to be running on fumes.
While Bournemouth has the ability to disrupt the Newcastle machine. The form of Isaac, Anthony Gordon and the Magpies' strong midfield should lead them to victory. Having found it difficult to score goals earlier in the season, they have now scored two or more goals in their last 11 games, and should score more goals come Saturday lunchtime.
