Newcastle United have got a good record at home during their last six fixtures.

Head coach Steve McClaren wants to use that to their benefit when they welcome Bournemouth to St. James’ Park on Saturday.

Speaking ahead of the game, the club reported on Twitter that McClaren said: “We’ve lost one in our last six at home, we’ve given the (SJP) crowd something to cheer about and we need to do that again.”
