Bournemouth vs Newcastle - Premier League LIVE: Latest score, team news and updates as the Magpies look to bounce back from Barcelona defeat on the south coast, plus updates from Sunderland vs Aston Villa

Oooooooh... I thought we had our opener.

tavernier plays in Evanilson and his shot is blocked by Thiaw, but it falls to Brooks on the right. He fires in, but the flag is up.

For some reason we are getting some sort of referrring audio. I'm not sure which one, but they are talking about checking Brooks.

We then hear 'confirming on-field decision'. Anyway, it's off. But Newcastle have been warned.

Tonali and Murphy link up well in Newcastle's first attack of the game and Petrovic saves from the latter from a tough angle.

Livramento then wins the visitors a corner. Petrovic punches, it's back into Woltemade and Scott clears off the line! The flag was up, bu the England Under-21 midfielder wasn't to know.

Fantastic play from Brooks as he enters the box from the right. He is in some form.

A backheel finds its way to Adams who shoots, and Pope clears with his feet, as we have seen a few times this season.

It results in a corner, which is cleared, but Bournemouth are still well on top here.

It's very, very tight in that midfield. But Hall manages to work some space to put a cross in and Petrovic gathers.

Ooooh, Scott is so close to playing in Adams but his pass is intercepted. Brooks' cross then cleared by Thiaw, into the very vocal away end. Semenyo will wind up the long throw.

Flicked on by Diakite and Jimenez shoots. It's blocked, but Bournemouth keep the ball.

Long ball from Bournemouth to start, and Nick Pope gathers.

I always feel like it's hard for bigger sides - if you like - coming to smaller, tigher grounds. Just not what they are used to.

Eddie Howe, however, is of course used to this ground.

It is indeed a back three for Newcastle, by the way. Craig was right, as per. Willock and Murphy either side of Woltemade.

Truffert puts in the first cross of the game, and the visitors clear via Hall.

Right then, here we go.

The teams are on their ways out at Vitality, led by David Brooks and Dan Burn, who step in for Adam Smith and Bruno Guimaraes respectively as captains today.

Any fantasy interest for anyone? Semenyo and Senesi for me.

Anyway. Premier League anthem, handshakes,and we're about to get underway.

Here we go! Evanilson gets us underway for the hosts.

Harry Redknapp, former Bournemouth manager, speaking to BetVictor:

Alan Shearer, Newcastle legend, speaking to Betfair:

Defeat in midweek but spirits have not been dampened for Newcastle fans.

Their supporters have made the multi-hour trip down for this game - an early start I'm sure - and will be hoping for three more points in the league.

I can't think of many teams I'd less like to play than Bournemouth after a game like that - but that's the cost of playing at the top level I suppose.

Micah Richards, former England defender, Sky Sports:

So I mentioned earlier that Newcastle have made seven changes today, but it's hard to tell what the action formation will be.

I was thinking potentially a back four with Lewis Hall in midfield, but we have seen Eddie Howe roll out a back three recently - including against Leeds just a few weeks ago.

Craig thinks it's a back five with Burn at centre back. We'll see soon!

Eddie Howe, Newcastle manager:

Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth manager:

The Newcastle players have arrived at Vitality and will be out to warm up soon.

It's about 14 degrees in Bournemouth, but feels like 11 accoding to my trusty Apple Weather app.10mph winds for those interested.

But no rain, so a nice day for football. Cannot wait for this one - it's hard to know what to predict.

As a note, I don't know what's going on in that bike piture, I just saw it on the system and thought it was cool. Something going on outside the stadium, I guess!

It's been a mixed start for Newcastle.

Their early season has been dominated by their striker situation, with Alexander Isak eventually leaving for Liverpool and Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa coming in.

In terms of results, it's been one win, two draws and one defeat in the league, and they do find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the table for now.

They did of course lose to Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek too.

But allow me to point you in the direction of the person who knows more about Newcastle than anyone on planet earth. Our man Craig Hope was on Sky Sports' Sunday Supplement today - and here's what he had to say about their season so far...

What a season it has been for the Cherries so far.

After having their defence dismantled in the summer - losing Kepa Arrizabalaga, Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi - many feared for them, but they have not let that bother them in the slightest.

What a well-run club they are. They have invested well in the departures' replacements, continued their attacking form and are absolutely looking up rather than down.

They could well finish today second in the table. That is seriously, seriously impressive.

Unai Emery remains cautious in terms of bringing in his newest signings Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho from the start. Remember, VIlla are the only team in England not to have scored a goal yet this season - zero from four games.

Nonetheless, Watkins leads the line again with Rogers and Buendia behind. Guessand is in there too, while Kamara's return is welcomed.

Here's the Black Cats team for this afternoon and just the two changes for them.

Rigg and Le Fee replace Diarra and Adingra from the draw with Crystal Palace last week, with Regis Le Bris opting for consistency after the new boys' impressive start to the campaign.

Dan Ballard is back on the bench after injury, too.

I make this seven changes from the Barcelona game. Wow.

Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Murphy, Woltemade, Willock and Miley come in. Trippier, Schar, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Elanga, Gordon and Barnes out.

I guess Howe had to change it after the midweek effort, but wow - I didn't expect that many changes.

Woltemade, though, is in, and will lead the line.

Milosavljevic impressed on debut last week, but Diakite is back in central defence after missing the win over Brighton to partner Senesi.

Apart from that, no major surprises from Andoni Iraola. Semenyo, Evanilson, Brooks and Scott are all in.

Expecting big things from the Cherries today!

Hello one and all and welcome to Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the early action this afternoon!

There's a day jam-packed with action ahead, with Arsenal vs Manchester City from the Emirates later on the main event. But, before that, we have Bournemouth vs Newcastle and Sunderland vs Aston Villa.

Here, we will be focusing on the game on the south coast as Bournemouth look to keep up their impressive run and Newcastle aiming to bounce back from defeat by Barcelona in midweek, but will have updates from the north east too.

But no time to waste - team news is in...
