Newcastle United can extend their winning run to a remarkable 10 games with a win against Eddie Howe's old side Bournemouth on Saturday - but this could also be one of their toughest challenges in recent weeks.

Eddie Howe has admitted the club are set to let go of one of their "top class" attackers as Newcastle face PSR pressure.

Newcastle United ‘have a chance’ of being in the Premier League title race this season, according to club legend Alan Shearer.

Newcastle's form has dramatically improved once Eddie Howe was finally prepared to unleash Sandro Tonali as his number six.

Newcastle secured a spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 3-1 win over League Two side Bromley at St James’ Park last weekend. They now face high-flying League One side Birmingham City, who secured their place in the fourth round with a 2-1 win over Lincoln City.

A win for Eddie Howe’s side would even see them end their match in 3rd place - a position in the table they would hold until at least Sunday when Nottingham Forest face Southamp

Howe has confirmed that he expects Almiron to train and be part of Newcastle's squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth, and has admitted that the potential exit of the winger is "not ideal". Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Howe said: "The latest is we expect him for training today and in the squad tomorrow.
