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:

Wolves get away with one as Dawson almost loses possession on the edge of his own area! He and Collins combine to crowd out Wilson, but Newcastle eventually win a throw-in. The visitors have been poor since equalising.
Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves have undone all their good work in the last 10 minutes. Since switching to a three-man backline, they have been camped inside their own area and are deservedly punished. Do they have another leveller in them?

Only Chelsea vs Manchester United (14), Arsenal vs Tottenham (12) and Aston Villa vs Newcastle (11) have finished 1-1 in the Premier League more often than Newcastle vs Wolves (9), despite this fixture only taking place on 15 occasions previously. Is it going to be a similar story this time around?

Murphy eases past Semedo and sees a cross blocked by Collins. The referee rules the Newcastle man carried the ball over the byline, however, and Wolves get a goal-kick.
