Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
It's all Newcastle at the moment. Schar strolls out of the defence and collects the ball inside Bournemouth's half. Nobody comes out to close him down and he takes a shot from a distance. It swerves in the air but goes straight at Neto.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Almiron drifts inside from the right and plays a quick one-two with Longstaff on the edge to work space for a shot. He jumps over a tackle and looks for the bottom-left corner with a curling effort but strikes his effort just wide.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Newcastle are starting to build in confidence after a strong half from Bournemouth. Almiron gets down the left side of the box and can send the ball into the middle, but there is nobody there and Kelly clears it away. Those are the moments that show the Magpies are missing Wilson and Isak.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Guimaraes has been quiet so far but almost unlocks the Bournemouth defence. He has possession just inside Newcastle's half and sends a throughball down the middle of the pitch to Longstaff, who rushes into the open space. It looks like he has a clear run at goal, but the ball gets away from him and Senesi flicks it away from him.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
It is still goalless, but that's only because of a few top saves from Dubravka. Both teams are clearly looking to win the game and playing with freedom, which has allowed for an end-to-end contest.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Trippier is over a deep free-kick in Bournemouth's half and he lofts a cross into the box. Botman is the target, but the defender is nudged away from the path of the ball from the Cherries' defence, allowing Neto to claim it.

Gordon bursts forward down the right channel before moving inside to get a shot away on his right foot. However, he drills his strike from outside the box straight at Neto.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Kluivert has switched over to the right for Bournemouth and is tormenting Burn, who is struggling to deal with his pace on the wing. He spins past the Newcastle defender and makes up the ground that Burn has on him, but his cross is poor. If Kluivert can improve his end product, Newcastle will have a serious problem.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
Solanke has been directly involved in 15 Premier League goals this season for Bournemouth (13 goals and two assists), while away from home, Solanke has scored eight times and assisted five more goals in his last 16 appearances on the road in the league. He has already had two huge opportunities to score against Newcastle that were saved by Dubravka.
Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth
SAVE! What a stop from Dubravka, but Solanke should not be giving him a chance. Christie skips a challenge on the left and rolls a pass through to Tavernier, who whips a fantastic cross into a dangerous area. The ball goes through to Solanke, but his shot from close range is pushed away by Dubravka.
