Team News

Newcastle
Wolves
  • Sven Botman is a minor concern for Newcastle after he came off against Arsenal and miss the midweek FA Cup shootout win over Blackburn.
  • Matt Targett, Nick Pope, Joelinton and Callum Wilson are sidelined.
  • Gary O'Neil is sweating on the fitness of Hwang Hee-Chan after he pulled up with a suspected hamstring issue against Brighton in midweek.
  • Matheus Cunha is sidelined but remains Wolves' only confirmed absentee at the time of writing.

Prediction

  • Newcastle needed penalties to beat Blackburn in the FA Cup in midweek, though shootout success at Ewood Park means their only defeat in their last seven in all competitions came at Arsenal last weekend.
  • Wolves also booked their place in the next round of the FA Cup in midweek as they beat Brighton at home. Victory means they have won four of their last five heading into Saturday's trip to Newcastle.
  • Wolves are unbeaten in six on the road, but have lost their last two trips to St. James' Park. Gary O'Neil's side should maintain their unbeaten away run though may have to settle for a point.
