Bournemouth is set to visit Tyneside this afternoon, aiming for their fifth consecutive FA Cup away win.
Andoni Iraola’s team has managed to overcome a tough winter, achieving their first win since October against Tottenham. However, they now face a tough challenge as they prepare to play without several key attackers. Bournemouth has a solid record against Newcastle and will be looking to pull off an upset against their former manager.
Bournemouth Team News
The squad is significantly weakened, especially with Antoine Semenyo moving to Manchester City this week. This is a second major setback after Justin Kluivert was ruled out due to a serious knee injury. Additionally, Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie are still sidelined.
David Brooks is likely to step in for Semenyo on the flank. Evanilson will take the lead in attack, supported by Junior Kroupi and Marcus Tavernier. Defensively, Bafode Diakite and Adam Smith are in contention for starting positions, while Đorđe Petrović will likely remain in goal as Bournemouth aims to match their quarter-final run from last season.

Bournemouth predicted XI: Petrovic; Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Cook; Tavernier, Kroupi, Brooks; Evanilson
