The Cherries are unbeaten in three league meetings against Newcastle, winning once. They have one loss in seven home games in the league.
Enes Unal, Tyler Adams and David Brooks are sidelined with injuries, but Marcos Senesi, who missed the trip to Nottingham Forest through illness last week could start, as is their record-signing Evanilson.
Meanwhile, Newcastle's last 14 away games in the Premier League have seen them win five times and lose nine. Eddie Howe will be without long-term absentees Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and Lewis Miley for the trip to his old stomping grounds. Fabian Schar will serve a suspension, while Callum Wilson is not fit for the trip to Boscombe.
Both teams have some notable absentees, and considering their recent history, a draw could ensue.
