On the back of a shambolic European loss, Newcastle United travel to the Molineux Stadium to face Wolves who are on a prolific run in the Premier League.
Having handed reigning treble-winners Manchester City their first loss of the campaign two weeks back, Wolves have followed up the scinitllating win with a draw and a win to make it seven points out of the available nine in their previous three encounters. With just one point separating Wolves and Chelsea who are seeded in the 10th position, Gary O'Neil's men would be vying to enter the top half of the table with a victory against a depleted Newcastle side. The home side have found the back of the net 12 successive times playing at the Molineux Stadium and will once again look to get their forwards in action when they host Newcastle United.
After a thunderous smashing of PSG in Matchday 2 of the UCL, the Magpies have followed up the win with a devastating defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Placed in the Group of the Death in this season's UCL, Eddie Howe would know the cost of every loss that is inflicted upon his team if he wants to make headlines and qualify through to the next phase. Switching back to the Premier League on Saturday, the Magpies are comfortably placed at the sixth spot and could displace Aston Villa with a victory at Molineux. Newcastle United have not lost a game in England since their wretched outing against Brighton and the Magpies would be looking to extend their streak against Wolves.
