HARVEY Barnes is making his first Newcastle United Premier League start since September against Bournemouth this afternoon.

Barnes replaces the injured Callum Wilson in the only change from the team that won at Nottingham Forest last time out.

The game comes too soon for Alexander Isak and Joe Willock, who remain absent.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has made two changes to his team, with Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo replacing Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra, who drop to the bench.

Newcastle are looking to to end a three-match winless run at St James' Park, while the visitors head for St James' Park on the back of a run of five games without a win.
