Eddie Howe is, rightly, talked about in the same breath as Newcastle United’s legendary managers Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson, but is in a position to prove he is better than them both.

Newcastle United can extend their winning run to a remarkable 10 games with a win against Eddie Howe's old side Bournemouth on Saturday - but this could also be one of their toughest challenges in recent weeks.

A win for Eddie Howe’s side would even see them end their match in 3rd place - a position in the table they would hold until at least Sunday when Nottingham Forest face Southamp

Eddie Howe says Alexander Isak is expected to be fit for Newcastle United’s home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday night. Isak, who has scored in seven consecutive Premier League games for Newcastle,

"There's a lot to be positive about and a lot to improve." On Alexander Isak: "It is one of his biggest strengths - his composure and level of finishing is at the highest level. He has the extra second of composure that players at the top level have."

Bournemouth fans renew acquaintances with Eddie Howe once again. A legend at the club, saving them from dropping into non-league and then taking them all the way through the divisions right up into the Premier League.
