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:

Newcastle's lack of structure and quality in attack so far in this game shows that an upgrade in the striking department is needed, but luckily they've got new signing Alexander Isak watching on, who will no doubt soon be leading the line for the Magpies.

Wolves are winless in the Premier League this season with just one point from three games so far. They’ve failed to win in their opening four league games just once in their previous 17 seasons, going six games winless at the start of the 2019-20 season.

Semedo finds Jimenez in the box, who tries to turn Schar and shoot. His first touch impedes him though, albeit it's still enough to force Botman to put it behind for a corner.

SAVED!!! Neto receives a wide pass and drives into the box. He shoots low with his left foot, and it's a good effort that Pope does well to hold!
