‘Unbelievable’ player makes first PL start as 25-year-old is missing in Newcastle predicted XI for Bournemouth

A depleted Newcastle United squad is set to face  as they aim to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League, currently standing at seven games. However, the Magpies are dealing with numerous injuries and suspensions, posing a challenge for manager Eddie Howe as he returns to BournBournemouthemouth.

One significant setback is the suspension of Bruno Guimaraes, who received his fifth yellow card during the win over Arsenal and will miss the upcoming game. This suspension, combined with injuries to Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali’s suspension, leaves Newcastle short on midfield options. As a result, 17-year-old Lewis Miley, who made history as the youngest player to represent the club in the Champions League, is expected to get his first Premier League start. Miley is likely to feature alongside Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock, taking on the role of the Magpies’ ‘number six.’

The decision to start Miley could hinge on the fitness of Callum Wilson, who is uncertain for the Bournemouth match after being forced off against Borussia Dortmund. If Wilson is unavailable, Anthony Gordon is expected to lead the line once again. The absence of Wilson would also open up a spot on the left wing, likely to be filled by Joelinton due to limited attacking options.

In other changes, Miguel Almiron is set to return after starting on the bench against Borussia Dortmund. The predicted starting XI against Bournemouth is as follows: Pope; Livramento, Lascelles, Schar, Trippier; Longstaff, Miley, Willock; Almiron, Gordon, Joelinton.
