Is Newcastle vs Bournemouth on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture | OneFootball

Newcastle United host Bournemouth at St James’ Park in the Premier League this afternoon, with the Magpies looking to continue a magnificent run of form.

A run of six straight league wins has propelled the Magpies up into fourth, and with fifth spot potentially getting a place in the Champions League next season, Eddie Howe’s side are firmly in the fight with a three-point gap to sixth-placed Manchester City.

Meanwhile, the Cherries enter the match off the back of a respectable draw against Chelsea in midweek, and they remain firmly in the hunt for the Champions League places too.

With just four points separating these two sides, a win for either could be vital in the race to secure European football next season.
