Eddie Howe's side have won nine games in a row in all competitions after a stunning run of form over the last month, seeing off Wolves with a 3-0 win at St. James' Park in their most recent outing on Wednesday.

Another victory on Saturday would make it ten in a row and break a longstanding United record in the process - but to do so, they'll have to break down another in-form team. The Cherries, under Andoni Iraola, sit eighth in the Premier League table and are unbeaten in ten games in all competitions.

Howe's squad were back in for training on Thursday morning as preparations continue for United's third home game in six days. Serena Taylor was there to bring newcastleunited.com this gallery.
