Will Wolves claim a win that'll lift them out of the relegation zone, or can Newcastle continue their impressive start to this campaign?
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Preview
Newcastle have been generally very impressive this season, so will they pick up another three points here? A fortnight ago, despite a largely backs against the wall performance, the Magpies beat Tottenham 2-1 at St James' Park, with Harvey Barnes breaking the deadlock, before Alexander Isak tapped home the winner, teed-up by Jacob Murphy. Thus, Eddie Howe's side remain unbeaten so far, also beating Southampton on Tyneside, before a battling 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. So, will the Toon Army have another win to celebrate as they travel 190 miles south to the Black Country?
Wolverhampton Wanderers meanwhile began the season with back-to-back defeats, beaten 2-0 by Arsenal, before being hammered 6-2 by Chelsea. Gary O'Neil's team did then manage to get off the mark at Nottingham Forest last time out, Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde on target in a 1-1 stalemate, but they certainly owe their home supporters a performance, having shipped six in a top-flight game at Molineux for the first time since September 1968 three weeks ago. Five of Newcastle's last six trips to Wolverhampton have all resulted in draws, so will this pattern continue?

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone debuted at the City Ground, so will once again be donning the gloves, while midfielder André also made his first appearance off the bench in that game. Craig Dawson's return to fitness has helped tighten up the defence while, up front, Jørgen Strand Larsen could continue to partner Matheus Cunha. This would see Hwang Hee-chan once again left on the bench, despite scoring for Korea Republic against Oman in a World Cup qualifier in Muscaṭ on Tuesday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-4-2): Johnstone; Semedo, Mosquera, Dawson, Toti; Lemina, João Gomes, Bellegarde; Aït-Nouri; Strand Larsen, Cunha.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Newcastle United
With Craig Dawson back at centre-back, Toti has shifted over to left-back, allowing Rayan Aït-Nouri to be deployed in a more advanced position. The Algerian scored three Premier League goals last season and, given a license to join the attack, he's likely to smash that tally this time round.
Newcastle United Team News
Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles remain sidelined long-term but, in better news, Fabian Schär has now served his three-match ban, so can return at centre-back. In midfield, after returning from a ban of his own, albeit a significantly longer one, Sandro Tonali has featured in Newcastle's last two games, before completing 90 minutes in both of Italy's fixtures last week, so could be in line for a start.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Burn, Kelly; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Gordon, Barnes, Isak.
Newcastle United Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Alexander Isak is one of many Newcastle players who enjoyed the international break, bagging a brace as Sweden beat Azerbaijan 3-1 in Baku, before notching up his 14th international goal against Estonia in Stockholm last Sunday. Having found the net in both previous appearances against Wolves, Isak will be looking to keep that streak going.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Prediction
Six of the last 11 meetings between these two sides have produced 1-1 draws and we can see this repeating itself here. Newcastle have looked strong this season, but were shaky during their two away games, lucky to leave Bournemouth with a share of the spoils, while only sneaking past Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup on penalties. Thus, we're backing Wolves to hold the Magpies to a draw: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Newcastle United.
