Two in-form Premier League teams battling for Champions League qualification square off at St James Park' on Saturday lunchtime as Newcastle United play host to Bournemouth.

Newcastle United:

Riding high on a nine-game winning streak across all competitions, Newcastle are brimming with confidence as they prepare to host Bournemouth. Alexander Isak has been the talisman for the Magpies, scoring in eight consecutive Premier League games—a feat achieved by only three other players in the competition's history. Eddie Howe's side sits fourth in the table and remains undefeated in their last five home matches, with their last three Premier League victories at St James' Park coming by an emphatic 10-0 aggregate score. However, Newcastle have yet to keep a Premier League clean sheet at home against Bournemouth, a record they will aim to break on Saturday.

Bournemouth:

Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth are proving to be one of the season's surprise packages, boasting a 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Despite letting a late lead slip in their 2-2 draw with Chelsea midweek, the Cherries are firmly in the hunt for a Champions League spot, just four points behind Newcastle in the table. Bournemouth's away form has been particularly impressive, with five consecutive matches on the road featuring at least two goals scored. However, they face a tough test at St James' Park, where they have failed to win in their last four visits. Early kickoffs have also been a bane for Bournemouth, losing their last four away games in the 12:30pm slot.
