Wolverhampton is coming off consecutive 1-0 victories in the EPL. A deflected shot in the second half by Raul Jimenez clinched the Wolves victory over Leeds on Monday.

Newcastle has been very inconsistent to start the Premier League campaign with victories over Burnley and West Ham but then were defeated by Brighton, drew with Tottenham and lost to Manchester United.

Newcastle has three wins, one draw and one loss in its last five matches played and over that span has scored 13 goals and allowed seven. Callum Wilson is the leading goal scorer for Newcastle with four and two others have one apiece. Jeff Hendrick, Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron and Wilson each have one assist to lead Newcastle.
