The Magpies kicked off the Premier League season with a gritty 1-0 win over Southampton at St. James’ Park last weekend, and now hit the road for the first time in 2024/25 to face Andoni Iraola's men at the Vitality Stadium.

Howe - who turned out for the Cherries across two spells in his playing days before a hugely successful 11 years in charge of the club across a further two stints - oversaw United’s preparations for the game on Wednesday, and Serena Taylor was there to bring newcastleunited.com this gallery from their midweek training session.
