ℹ️ Team News: Newcastle United

Harrison Ashby (Hamstring Injury), Matty Longstaff (Knee Injury) and Emil Krafth (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will be missing for Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe. Joelinton cannot play in this game through suspension.

It seems likely that The Magpies could go for a 4-3-3 formation for this one and select Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schaer, Sven Botman, Daniel Burn, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joseph Willock, Allan Saint-Maximin, Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy.

🗞️ Team News: Wolves

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Boubacar Traoré (Groin Injury), Hee-chan Hwang (Hamstring Injury), Chiquinho (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Wolves appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo, Craig Dawson, Max Kilman, Jonny, Ruben Neves, Mario Lemina, Adama Traore, Joao Moutinho, Daniel Podence and Raul Jimenez.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Newcastle United are likely to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Wolverhampton Wanderers could well struggle to find the back of the net although we do reckon that they could well end up being dangerous for periods.

We reckon that it will be a decent 3-1 winning score for Newcastle United at full-time.
