Newcastle have lost their last four FA Cup third round matches against Premier League opposition (2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2020-21), last progressing against a fellow top-flight side in 2011-12 when they beat Blackburn.

Bournemouth have won their last four away matches in the FA Cup, their best ever away winning run in the competition, with two of those wins coming at Premier League teams – Burnley in February 2021 and Everton in February 2025.

Eddie Howe has lost six of his last nine home matches in the FA Cup (W2 D1), with four of those defeats coming with former club Bournemouth (W1 D1 L4) and two with Newcastle (W1).
