Stadium: St. James' Park

Newcastle (4-3-3)

Newcastle will be without Joelinton due to a groin injury and J. Ramsey who has a sprained ankle, which could affect their midfield depth significantly.

Wolves will miss K. Hoever, who is sidelined with jumper's knee, limiting their defensive options.

This crucial fixture sees Newcastle, positioned 17th with 2 points, face bottom-placed Wolves who have yet to register a point. Both teams need to turn poor starts into positive results to ease relegation fears.

Newcastle's recent form has been shaky, recording two draws and a loss in their last three matches. Their attack has struggled, scoring just two goals across three games, while their defense has also shown vulnerability.

Wolves are on a troublesome losing streak, having lost all three of their fixtures this season. With only two goals scored and a hefty eight conceded, they are in desperate need of a turnaround to avoid a grim season.
