Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "Although the league table looks good in terms of position, the gap of points between us and the teams beneath us is not big and there are a host of teams tightly congested together.

"We have a lot of work to do and I am under no illusions that we have to deliver."

Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez: "For us, every game is like a final. When you are playing so well against the top sides, you expect to do well against other teams. But we have to focus and try to get three points.

"If you lose, you must stay calm. It is so tight. Three points would be massive for both teams, but you just have to stay calm and fight right until the end of the season."

Has to go with the same starting 11 really, can't predict the game because we will create chances but will we take them is another matter.

[beatty 22]

Some ball by Jonjo for that goal. 

[wykikitoon 44]

GAYLE!!! 

[OTF 33]

Nice run Ritchie, well spotted and great delivery on the pass from Shelvey, nice quick ball in to the well positioned Gayle who had the presence of mind to stay on his feet and tap the ball home. Lovely to watch.

[TheGingerQuiff 305]

Top half!

[Howmanheyman 351]

Get in!!! 

 

Tony Gayle? Gutted btw. 

[beatty 22]

Another stunning Shelvey long ball. 

[OTF 33]

Hope we can keep this momentum, they're there for the taking.

Most impressive about it was spotting the run and timing it right. Ritchie clearly up for it against his old mob.

We're playing very well

 

[Howmanheyman 351]

Playing well 1st half, could do with a second as they'll be better 2nd half and the temptation to sit back will be strong.

Yep, another goal for us will be critical.

[OTF 33]

Not used to the commentary talking us up. It's been at while at this level. It makes me nervous.
