Newcastle United vs Bournemouth: FA Cup third round preview

Howe was appointed by Newcastle United in the same year as his former club. His best performance in the FA Cup was also a quarter-final appearance in which Newcastle were beaten by Manchester City two years ago.

They made it as far as the fifth round last season, knocking out Bromley and Birmingham City before losing to Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion at St James' Park.

The Magpies have a rich FA Cup history. Newcastle have won the tournament on six occasions, most recently in 1955, and have lost seven times in the final.

Are you missing replays? Last time they won the cup, they needed two of them to eliminate Nottingham Forest in the fifth round. In the fourth round, Aston Villa played Doncaster Rovers four times.

History both recent and distant appears to favour Bournemouth. Newcastle are winless against the Cherries in their last seven Premier League meetings and won only the first of three FA Cup matches.

In 1972-73, Newcastle won 2-0 against a freshly renamed AFC Bournemouth. 19 years later the two drew at Dean Court and then St James' Park, Bournemouth winning the tie on penalties.

But it's the home team who are bringing league form into the third round, kicking off their FA Cup campaign in the top six of the Premier League thanks to three wins on the bounce.

Bournemouth beat Tottenham Hotspur in midweek but their winning goalscorer, Antoine Semenyo, has since completed his transfer to Manchester City.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Newcastle United 2-1 Bournemouth

St James' Park will be buoyant after Wednesday's barnstorming 4-3 win against Leeds United.
