Wolves, meanwhile, put some daylight between themselves and their fellow relegation candidates by beating Spurs last time out. While they have made huge strides under Julen Lopetegui, a series of big results for their competitors on Saturday means they are still looking over their shoulders. Wolves begin the game three points clear of the drop zone after West Ham drew with Aston Villa, though they will go as high as 12th if they avoid defeat on Tyneside.

Newcastle look to end a five-match winless run in the Premier League as they host Wolves, with their recent downturn putting their hopes of a top-four finish in doubt. Eddie Howe's men start the game seven points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham with three games in hand, while a victory would see them leapfrog Liverpool and move into the top five.
