No Guimareas and I don't underestimate the significance of that, so this will be tough. Newcastle are managing to grind out results but they will struggle with the injuries suspension and fatigue on Wednesday and even more vs Bournemouth .
Hurrah - I've missed so many Weds night training sessions lately - got a bloody team comp coming up at end of Nov as well

This game is actually a huge one for Newcastle and it's unfortunate they'll be playing with several sub standard players again. Newcastle not having Guimereas Botman Isak Wilson and players like Almiron and Gordon clearly fatigued makes this game anyones. Bournemouth will be far more fresh and Newcastle are basically forced to play Mike Ashley's Newcastle, so go figure.
