Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Eddie Howe’s team are unbeaten but head to Molineux to face a more attack-minded Wolves team
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
It hasn’t been a good start to the campaign for the hosts in terms of points accrued, but Bruno Lage might be pleased by some of their displays despite taking a point from three games - and having scored only once. There were signs of fine link play between Goncalo Guedes, Matheus Nunes and Pedro Neto at times last week and all three start today, with Raul Jimenez also back in.
Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest on the opening day and have since drawn with Brighton and Man City, leaving them as one of five unbeaten teams in the Premier League. A win for them today would lift them into fourth ahead of Tottenham’s game later on. Eddie Howe has brought Sean Longstaff and Chris Wood into his team, which is otherwise unchanged.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
Newcastle United are unbeaten in their three Premier League games this season, last enjoying a four-match unbeaten start to a league season back in 2011-12, where they didn’t lose their opening 11 games before going on to finish fifth.

SAVED!!! Wolves counter down the right once more, and Semedo curls a cross into the danger area. Jimenez meets it on the half volley, but scuffs his effort and it's an easy one for Pope to hold!

Willock aims to turn and beat Guedes to a loose ball, but is held back by the Wolves winger and wins a free-kick in a good position for Trippier to cross in.

WIDE!!! Jimenez shows his strength to outmuscle Trippier off the ball before crossing into the box. It's a peach of a ball for Nunes, but he can't direct his header on target and it flies wide!
