Sutton's predictions: Newcastle v Bournemouth
· Yahoo Sports
Newcastle have started the season superbly with four points, and it feels like they have changed the mood at St James' Park after a difficult summer.

There's no doom and gloom about the place despite them losing several key players and, after predicting they would lose their first two games, I feel differently about their prospects now.
Things can change very quickly of course and a home defeat by Bournemouth would see a lot of that optimism disappear. But, so far, I've been really impressed by Anthony Elanga, and Yoane Wissa looks like he has got his confidence back.
I like the way new manager Matthias Jaissle has set them up to hit teams on the counter-attack, and Nico Gonzalez looks like a sensible signing too.
I called Newcastle "a development club" before their first game, because of the type of players they have bought and sold this summer, but while their midfield is quite youthful, they have now got Nico in there to give them a bit of extra clout.
This is still a tricky game to call, however.
Bournemouth haven't won yet, but only because they have let leads slip away late on, first against Manchester City and then at home to Everton.
Cherries boss Marco Rose is another manager who likes to play on the front foot and they are certainly capable of getting something here, even though I have gone for a home win.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
