How Newcastle could line up in Premier League clash vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (4-3-3) | OneFootball

Newcastle United visit Molineux to take on rejuvenated Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.

The Magpies have found their feet following a disastrous start to the season, although their away form is still nothing to write home about.

Newcastle have one of the worst away records in the Premier League, winning just two of their 10 fixtures outside St James’ Park (D3, L5).

However, they will hope their most recent 3-1 win against Burnley at Turf Moor will spark a much-needed resurgence away from home.

That win over Burnley snapped a three-match winless streak in the Premier League, where a couple of 1-0 defeats against Sunderland and Manchester United came on either side of a 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

It also marked the start of a three-match league winning streak that pushed them into the top half of the table.

Eddie Howe’s side will be keen to stretch that run to four games on the bounce for the first time this season, knowing a win will take them to within a point of fourth-placed Liverpool.

Newcastle head into this fixture on the back of a dramatic 4-3 home win against Leeds United, so the dressing room is brimming with confidence.

Their record against the basement boys will also fuel their confidence, having gone eight league games without losing to Wolves (W6, D2).

They’ve also won the last four consecutive meetings with Wolves heading into this fixture.

How Newcastle could line up

Newcastle were brought back down to earth after a 2-0 League Cup semi-final first-leg defeat against Manchester City in midweek, so Howe will likely make five changes for the Wolves clash.

Nick Pope should keep his place in goal while Kieran Trippier returns to partner Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall in defence.

Sandro Tonali and Joe Willock will likely be recalled on either side of Bruno Guimaraes in midfield.

Nick Woltemade is also expected to be recalled to the starting XI with Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes on the flanks.
