Chris Wood has been backed to go on a goalscoring run at Newcastle United following his goal against Southampton last week. The Kiwi striker is on standby to play against Chelsea at St James' Park today should Callum Wilson be ruled out.
Wood scored his first Premier League goal in almost seven months at St Mary's last Sunday, his fourth for the club since his £25m move from Burnley in January. But despite his lack of goals at St James' Park, former Burnley boss Sean Dyche has claimed that Wood has often hit the goal trail after a barren spell.
Dyche told talkSPORT: "Woody goes through spells [of not scoring goals]. But when he comes back through it - you know he scored the other week - does that now start him off again?
