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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
After a commanding victory over Nottingham Forest on the opening day, the Magpies have drawn their last two, most recently letting a two-goal lead slip against Manchester City to draw 3-3. They did come back from 1-0 down to go 3-1 up in just 25 minutes though, suggesting that Wolves’ rear-guard could be in for a tough game.

Winless Wolves need to get their season up and running eventually, but with just one point from three games so far, they couldn’t have picked a worse time to face an unbeaten Newcastle side.
