Newcastle look to continue their hot Premier League form on Wednesday night as they host Wolves, and you can find the latest team news and confirmed lineups in our preview ahead of the action.
Newcastle vs Wolves Preview 2a2p1z
There seems to be no stopping Newcastle in the Premier League right now, with the Magpies winning their last five games on the bounce while conceding just one goal.
The Magpies are climbing up the table quicker than anyone else and they are serious top four contenders at the minute having closed the gap down to just one point behind Chelsea in fourth.
Alexander Isak is also climbing up the top goalscorer rankings with 13 league goals now, including nine in his last seven games.
As well as their five consecutive league wins, Newcastle also won back to back cup games in the last week with wins against Arsenal and Bromley.
Wolves on the other hand have stagnated after a quick start to life under Vitor Pereira but a difficult fixture run can excuse the new boss who has impressed.
After back to back wins against Leicester and Manchester United, the relegation threatened side drew with Tottenham before an emphatic home loss to in form Nottingham Forest.
Wolves were able to advance to the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday with a narrow margin win over Bristol City and the victory as well as the potential return of Matheus Cunha should be enough to boost the visitors’ hopes on Wednesday.

Newcastle’s demanding fixture schedule at the beginning of 2025 has come hand in hand with some fresh injuries for Eddie Howe’s side, after back to back cup wins in the past week.
Alexander Isak, Sven Botman, Jacob Murphy and Joe Willock were all rested against Bromley in the FA Cup over the weekend but all are expected to be healthy for the Wolves game.

Matheus Cunha is eligible for selection again now that the Wolves forward has completed his two match suspension and he is likely to lead the line once more.
Craig Dawson, Nelson Semedo and Toti Gomes are all unlikely to be available for Vitor Pereira, while Mario Lemina may face a late fitness test after suffering with illnes this week.
