THE LOWDOWN
NEWCASTLE
- Newcastle’s recent slump continued last weekend as they were beaten 2-0 by Man City, which sees them now without a win in their most recent five Premier League fixtures, knocking them out of the top four as it stands.
- Fabian Schar is likely to make his return to the Newcastle starting XI, replacing Jamaal Lascelles, whilst Eddie Howe will need to make a change in midfield, due to Joelinton's suspension.
WOLVES
- A late Adama Traore winner gave Wolves a massive three points against Tottenham last time out, a huge result in terms of their survival hopes with Julen Lopetegui’s side now five points above the bottom three going into this latest round of Premier League fixtures.
- A bad knee injury forced Diego Costa off on a stretcher last weekend to be replaced by Raul Jimenez and in Costa's absence, the Mexican striker is expected to get the nod up top here.
THE TEAM NEWS
NEWCASTLE
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; S. Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Willock; Almiron, Wilson, Gordon
UNAVAILABLE: Krafth (Injured), Joelinton (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE: Schar (Injured)
WOLVES
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Jonny; Neves, Lemina; Sarabia, Nunes, Neto; Raul Jimenez
UNAVAILABLE: Chiquinho (Injured), Bueno (Injured), Kalajdzic (Injured), Costa (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Traore (Fitness), Hwang (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Wolves will be well aware of Newcastle’s struggles going forward and are likely to set up with a view to frustrating the home side and hitting them on the counter-attack. However, Wolves themselves have not found it easy offensively, scoring just twice across their last four games. It would therefore be no surprise if this proved a turgid affair. With that in mind, under 2.5 goals scored looks very much on the cards.
TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
