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.

Two additional minutes have been signalled at the end of this half, as Wolves attempt to play their way out of Newcastle's press.

Jimenez gets his head to the corner, but he can only flick it all the way through the box and away to safety. Saint-Maximin then gets Newcastle on the front foot again, but Longstaff's pass is cut out by Dawson.

Traore dances past Burn on the right and wins a corner at the byline. The Newcastle full-back has done well against the pacey Spaniard so far.

Wolves have spent much of the last 15 minutes penned inside their own penalty area, but Podence was so close to levelling with a moment of magic there. As long as it remains 1-0, Wolves will carry a threat.

OFF THE POST! Podence almost levels! The Wolves wideman steps inside from the left flank and unleashes a low drive from 25 yards, which beats Pope but crashes against the foot of the post. So close to 1-1!

Newcastle are unbeaten in their 17 Premier League home games under Eddie Howe when opening the scoring (W12 D5). The Magpies have been dominant since hitting the front. Can Wolves respond?
