Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.
Record signing Alexander Isak was handed a rare start as Newcastle attempted to revive their Premier League campaign against Wolves. The Sweden international was included as one of five changes to the team which lost 2-0 at Manchester City last weekend with he, Fabian Schar after concussion, Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy and Allan Saint-Maximin replacing Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, the suspended Joelinton, Anthony Gordon and Miguel Almiron.
Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui made four changes as Joao Moutinho, Adama Traore, Daniel Podence and Raul Jimenez came in for Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Nunes, Pedro Neto and the injured Diego Costa.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves are enjoying a better spell now as Moutinho tries to prod a pass through for Jimenez, but Botman is equal to it and makes the interception.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Lopetegui is not happy on the sidelines as Neves requires a brief bout of treatment, resulting in a stoppage in play. Pope didn't seem to make a clear movement towards Jimenez, but with the goal totally unguarded, the Mexican felt he was toppled!
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Lucky escape for Newcastle! Pope takes an awful touch from a back pass and Jimenez steals in to win the ball. The Mexican goes down under the goalkeeper's challenge with a gaping goal, and it appears the VAR has opted against punishing Pope! Newcastle hearts were certainly in mouths there.
