Did you know?
AFC Bournemouth are seeking their first Premier League home victory over Newcastle, at the third attempt.
Cherries pair Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson have combined for nine PL goals this season. The last duo to combine for more in a single season were Arsenal’s Nicolas Anelka and Dennis Bergkamp in 1998/99, with 10 goals.
With three PL goals against AFC Bournemouth, Salomon Rondon has only scored more against Swansea City, with four. He struck both of Newcastle’s goals in their 2-1 win against the Cherries in this season’s reverse fixture.
All of Ayoze Perez’s six PL goals this season have been at St James’ Park. He is the highest goalscorer in the division this season yet to score away from home.
