TEAMS PREVIEW

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Wolves' poor form from last season has continued into this year, with only one point from their first three games. They lost heavily to Arsenal and Chelsea in their opening matches, but showed improvement against Burnley in the EFL Cup and Nottingham Forest. 

Their only home clean sheet this year was against Sheffield United, which is concerning against Newcastle, who have scored in every game this season. Several Wolves players are injured, including Kalajdzic, Gonzalez, Traore, and possibly Mosquera. 

Bueno could replace Mosquera at the back, while Sa might return to the matchday squad after being dropped for the Forest game. Johnstone made his debut in that game and will compete with Sa for the starting goalkeeper position.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Starting Lineup - Johnstone (GK); Semedo, S. Bueno, Dawson, Toti (Defenders); Bellegarde, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri (Mid-fielders); Cunha, Hwang (Forwards)

Newcastle United Preview

Newcastle United had a disappointing season last year, narrowly missing out on European qualification due to Manchester United's FA Cup victory. However, they have made a promising start to this season, winning against Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, and drawing against Bournemouth. Their unbeaten record in all competitions this season is a testament to their strong form.

Newcastle have a strong record against Wolves, winning their last five matches against them. They have also scored in 22 of their last 23 Premier League away matches, highlighting their attacking prowess on the road. Fabian Schar is returning from suspension, but Newcastle will still be without Botman, Lascelles, Miley, Wilson, and Willock due to injuries.

Sandro Tonali, a promising midfielder, could make his Premier League debut for Newcastle after impressing for Italy during the international break. His addition to the starting lineup could provide a boost to Newcastle's midfield.

Overall, Newcastle United are in a strong position heading into this match against Wolves. Their recent form, strong record against Wolves, and the return of key players suggest that they are favorites to win the game. However, Wolves have shown signs of improvement and will be looking to upset the odds. 

Newcastle United Starting Lineup - Pope (GK); Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall (Defenders); Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton (Mid-fielders); Barnes, Isak, Gordon (Forwards)

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC vs NEWCASTLE UNITED
Winning Prediction

Wolves and Newcastle have scored in every game at Molineux. Newcastle conceded a lot of shots, but Schar and Tonali might help. Their forwards are very good and can score goals. Wolves can also play well, but Newcastle is probably the better team and should win.
