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:

We're back for the second half, and will Wolves be able to hold on, or even add to, their slender lead here?

Neves was everywhere for Wolves in that half, socring the opener in fantastic fashion with his only shot, and also leading the way in terms of touches and passes for his side. Defensively, he's won the ball six times, also a high for his team, coming via two interceptions, a block and a clearance. Wolfish.

The first half ends, with the hosts a goal to the good thanks to that sumptuous finish from Neves! It was a brilliant strike that deserved a goal, with the hosts looking particularly dangerous on the counter every time they broke forward. Newcastle had more of the ball, and more of the chances, throughout the half though, and Eddie Howe will know that better composure and execution is needed if his players are to turn this game around.

Almiron looks to have shrugged off Jonny to win the ball, but he's penalised for a foul before he can cross into the area.
