Newcastle United's Lineup Changes: Cherries Clash Preview (2026)

Get ready for an exciting Premier League clash as Newcastle United takes on AFC Bournemouth (aka the Cherries)!

Eddie Howe's men are on a roll, having secured three consecutive wins in the league. Their latest victory, a thrilling 1-0 triumph over Leeds United, was sealed by Harvey Barnes' late, late goal.

But here's where it gets interesting: Howe has made some strategic lineup changes. Four players retain their spots, including Harvey Barnes, who will be looking to continue his goal-scoring form. Joining him are Malick Thiaw, Sandro Tonali, and Nick Woltemade.

Unfortunately, Fabian Schär won't be featuring due to an injury sustained in the Leeds game.

In goal, we have Aaron Ramsdale, facing one of his former clubs. Kieran Trippier, another familiar face, returns to the defense and will don the captain's armband.

Up front, Woltemade partners with Yoane Wissa for the first time. And watch out for teenager Sam Alabi, who's once again among the substitutes after an impressive showing for the under-21s against Middlesbrough.

So, will Newcastle continue their winning streak, or will the Cherries cause an upset?

Newcastle United Starting XI:
- Aaron Ramsdale (GK)
