WOLVES TEAM NEWS: AIT-NOURI AND LEMINA TO BE CHECKED
Rayan Ait-Nouri and Mario Lemina have only been partially involved in training and will be assessed, but Gary O'Neil has stated that Yerson Mosquera is not injured despite missing some aspects of training due to cramp.
Enso Gonzalez and Sasas Kalajdzic are out, with no return date being offered for the pair.

QUESTIONABLE: Ait-Nouri (Injured), Lemina (Injured), Traore (Injured)
NEWCASTLE TEAM NEWS: SCHAR BACK FROM SUSPENSION BUT WILSON STILL OUT
Fabian Schar has completed his three-game ban and should return to the heart of the Magpies defence, especially as Emil Krafth is now nursing a knock, while Sandro Tonali could be given more minutes as he builds up his match sharpness.
Joe Willock has made good progress and should make the matchday squad, but striker Callum Wilson is a little behind schedule in his own recovery and will not be involved.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Kelly; Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Gordon, Isak, Barnes
UNAVAILABLE: Botman (Injured), Lascelles (Injured), Miley (Injured), Wilson (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Krafth (Injured), Willock (Injured)
WOLVES VS NEWCASTLE PREDICTION
One of five unbeaten Premier League teams heading into the weekend, Newcastle have not been at their fluent best yet but Eddie Howe will surely be pleased about their seven points gained from a possible nine. They travel to a Wolves side who, on paper, have had a poor start to the season, but that doesn't take into account their brutally difficult fixture run. It isn't about to get any easier for Gary O'Neil's side, who are likely to be on the end of another defeat.
After he scored his first goal of the season for the Magpies before the international break, Alexander Isak added another three goals for Sweden in the interim, so he looks a strong choice in the Anytime Goalscorer market in this one.
