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
BLOCKED!!! Newcastle surge forward through Saint-Maximin, who passes centrally to Wood. He tees up Longstaff, whose weak effort takes a deflection and goes behind for a corner!

Wolves aim to attack again and almost create space to shoot, but are prevented from doing so by a sliding challenge from Burn. There's challenges flying in all over the place at the moment, and the fans are loving it!

WIDE!!! It's pinball in the Wolves box following a Newcastle throw, with several headers unable to clear the danger before Wood has a half-volley blocked. It falls to Willock in some space, who shoots too, but can only put his effort just wide of the post!

After a Saint-Maximin-led attack is broken up, Wolves counter at pace and Neto looks to find Jimenez at the back post, but is again thwarted by Pope who catches the cross.

Forward come Wolves again as Jonny plays in Neto down the byline. He cuts the ball back across goal, but it's too close to Pope, who gathers possession.

OVER!!!! Wonderful play from Wolves as Neves smashes a cross-field pass straight to Guedes on the half-volley. He hits a low across towards the centre of the box, where Neto arrives, and he looks to flick it over Pope but can only find the top of the net!

Semedo looks to get around the outside of Burn, but is brought to ground by the Magpies' left-back, giving the hosts a good crossing opportunity from this free-kick.

SAVED!!!! Joelinton looks to have lost the ball, but slides a brilliant pass forward for Wood to run onto. He aims to round Sa, but the Wolves keeper races out of his goal and blocks the shot behind for an early corner!
