Newcastle United, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Newcastle United supremo Eddie Howe after sustaining a heavy 4-1 away loss to Arsenal. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 3 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Arsenal, who had 18 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Whilst Howe will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 16 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at St James' Park, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Goalscorer Alexander Isak will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Newcastle United.
Wolverhampton W., Recent FormWolverhampton W. have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Sheffield United in their previous league match. They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Sheffield United's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Gary O'Neil will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well away from home and are unbeaten in their last 4 away games.
On an individual basis, Matheus Cunha will be looking to cause Newcastle United some problems having scored 5 goals in Wolverhampton W.'s last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Newcastle will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Wolves, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 12 meetings between the two.
In the league, Newcastle has a good track record when they host Wolves, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Jamaal Lascelles has scored in each of Newcastle's last 2 home games against Wolves.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Elliot Anderson (Back), Joelinton Apolinário Lima (Thigh), Nick Pope (Dislocated shoulder), Matt Targett (Hamstring) and Callum Wilson (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wolves manager Gary O'Neil ahead of this clash, with Matheus Cunha (Hamstring) missing out, which gives O'Neil a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
