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:

No Goal!!! VAR has been called in to look at the contact between Neto and Fraser, and it's a clear foul on the Newcastle substitute, so the goal will not stand!

BALL IN THE NET!!!! Wolves counter at breakneck speed from the corner after Neto outmuscles Fraser. He races clear and crosses for Jimenez, who stabs it under Pope and into the net!!! The referee's not happy though, and we may need another look at this!
