Match Preview
There is little to separate Wolves and Newcastle in the current Premier League standings, with the visitors this weekend sitting a point above the hosts. Both sides could yet have aims of finishing in the European spots this term, but the pressure could be on the Magpies to achieve that feat after winning just once across their last four matches in the English top-flight.
Wolves will bring a lot of confidence into this showdown after winning each of their last two matches. They have recovered excellently from a slow start to the season, and a win this weekend could lift them into a season-high position of seventh in the standings. The Black Country side have also won three of their last four matches.
