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
Newcastle spent much of the first half bombarding Wolves' area with crosses. That must have been a factor in Lopetegui's decision to bring Collins on, though the hosts have not been able to reach the same levels of intensity since the break.

Newcastle are immediately back on the front foot and want a penalty for an apparent push from Jimenez. The referee waves those appeals away, and Wolves are forced to defend a corner, eventually clearing after a goalmouth scramble.
