Newcastle United vs Wolves – Predicted lineup and team news

St. James’ Park is the setting for a crucial fixture on Saturday as a winless Newcastle United take on a struggling Wolves side.

For the home side, a record of two draws and a defeat has created early pressure to perform, but the history suggests this is an ideal opportunity.

Newcastle have a dominant record in this fixture, having remarkably found the net in every single one of their 20 Premier League meetings with Wolves.

Eddie Howe has received a significant boost with the return of midfielder Joelinton, who is fit again after a hip injury. His presence will add power to the midfield. Howe must, however, cope without the suspended Anthony Gordon and the injured Jacob Ramsey. Furthermore, hopes of a debut for Yoane Wissa have been dashed, as he has been ruled out with a knock picked up on international duty.

Eddie Howe on Joelinton: "Joe has trained. He's been fit and available, he's been out on the training pitch and is looking good. Really happy to welcome him back, such an important player."

These absences in attack open the door for a potential debut for Nick Woltemade. The German striker arrives with a strong goalscoring record from the Bundesliga. Consequently, there will be a great deal of expectation on him and Harvey Barnes to provide the clinical edge that has been missing from Newcastle’s play so far this season.
