Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United: Premier League preview

Newcastle United's last trip to this venue proved to be the final game of the Mike Ashley era - and he was swiftly followed by Steve Bruce a couple of weeks later.

United lost 2-1 to Wolves that day with Jeff Hendrick's goal not enough to inspire a comeback for the Magpies. Back then they travelled to Wolves without a win to their name.

But things are a bit different now with Eddie Howe's Mags flying high and unbeaten. This could be another day to enjoy for United supporters.

Lee Ryder's prediction

Confidence is flowing at Newcastle while Wolves are struggling a bit with just one point from nine Premier League matches. A narrow League Cup win over Preston North End may have only papered over the cracks for Wolves.

Newcastle are in the mood and on a high heading to Molineux and I think they'll pick up all the points in this one.

Referee

Peter Bankes (Lancashire)

Bankes loves a yellow card and has issued 31 of them already in just four matches, including 10 in one game in Europe when he officiated Panathinaikos and Sparta Prague!
