Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has claimed that he has seen a "good reaction" from his players following last weekend's defeat to Southampton.

The Cherries suffered a 2-0 loss at St Mary's, their seventh defeat of the season, which has left them one point above the relegation zone.

This weekend, Bournemouth, who earned their spot in the Premier League by winning the Championship last season, will face Newcastle United at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

"I've seen a good reaction after Sunday, but I would expect that," Howe said in today's press conference. "The real test of that will be on Saturday.

"Every game is important and the next one is as big as the last one. We want points off everyone. We are looking for our fans to back us and the players to give them something to shout about."

Bournemouth have won two of their 11 Premier League games.
