Refreshed Bournemouth can bounce back to form

3pm Saturday

Bournemouth headed off to Portugal for some warm-weather training to get their miserable 4-1 loss to Huddersfield out of their system and they can respond with a home victory over Newcastle.

Eddie Howe was clearly disappointed with his players at Huddersfield but the loss was Bournemouth's first in eight league games.

The Cherries had a strong start to the year and can do the double over Newcastle having beaten them 1-0 on Tyneside.

Newcastle dug deep to defeat Manchester United 1-0 last time out but face a nervy end to the season.
