Newcastle vs Wolves

The Magpies and the Wolves battle in the Prem! Read our Premier League odds series, which includes this Newcastle-Wolves game analysis.

Moutinho and Neves will work with Mario Lemina in the midfield. The Wolves only had two wins and four draws in 13 games played in their travels, so they will be extra motivated to overcome their dismal away record. Back the hosts to dominate against the visitors. Wolverhampton is in 13th place in the Premier League, three points of relegation occupants West Ham United, Leeds United, and Southampton. In any case, Raul Jimenez, Matheus Nunes, and Pablo Sarabia are primed to spearhead the attack. Ruben Neves appeared to be the best man for the Wolves for securing the lead just 38 minutes into the ball game. Fabian Schar is doubtful to appear in this game, but it seems like he will hurdle through his discomfort as he joins Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, and Dan Burn in the backline. The Magpies are now in a five-game winless run. After spending time in relegation, Wolverhampton Wanderers have climbed up to 13th place in the Premier League table. They have just played 24 games in the Prem, but the Magpies boast themselves as the best defensive squad in England, conceding just 17 goals so far. The Magpies will surely be motivated to get a win in their second match this March.

Five games without a win in all competitions is cause for concern for Newcastle and Eddie Howe is acutely aware of the need to beat Wolves to get their top ...

Traore netted a fine winner after coming off the bench against Spurs and is duly rewarded with a start today with kick off just minutes away. An early scare for Wolves as Jose Sa collides with Craig Dawson and drops a cross but he manages to jump on the loose ball in time. A couple of dangerous crosses are cleared away and then Wolves deal with the corner after the hosts go short - much to the frustration of the home crowd. Newcastle are really pressing high up and getting in the faces of the Wolves defenders, with a couple of misplaced passes and clearances already forced. A great switch of the play from Schar and Guimaraes is brought down on the edge of the area by Lemina yards outside the box. They then break up the other end and Traore plays a lovely ball in behind Burn but the big Newcastle defender recovers and clears the ball off Semedo and out for a goal kick.

Newcastle United seeks a win that can save its shrinking Premier League top four hopes when it hosts Wolves at St. James' Park on Sunday.

Can the Gunners make it five wins in a row in the Premier League? Fulham have made two changes with Tosin coming in for Diop and Bobby Decordova-Reid in for Willian as the Brazilian winger misses out totally. The home fans celebrate the VAR decision arriving on the screen like it is a goal for Fulham. Fulham’s still alive in the FA Cup and has that route into Europe as well. Gabriel Jesus comes on and there is a huge roar from the Arsenal fans in the away end. Leandro Trossard with a lovely clipped cross to the back post and Martinelli heads home. Gabriel Martinelli has a shot from the left which Bernd Leno saves but it bounces off Antonee Robinson and goes in. That is going to be crucial in the final months of the season as they aim to win the title. Bit of possession for Fulham now as Manor Solomon bends one wide of the far post. Jesus will of course start a large chunk of the final 11 games of the campaign but Arsenal now have a very different option to roll out whenever they want. Fulham have missed Joao Palhinha badly in midfield and just don’t look at it. Fulham hit the bar.

Howe had no choice but to make a change in midfield with Joelinton banned but Joe Willock replaced him in the engine room. Jamaal Lascelles was benched again ...

"At 1-1 the game is in the balance, with our recent run that was a real test of character for us. But we have to focus on the next one and carry on fighting to improve the wrong things." It's true, we have suffered a big mistake a lot of matches ago in Liverpool and today, for me, it was a penalty," he said. "The relegation fight will be until the last match. And because he's not trying to play the ball it would be a penalty, a red card and a ban for him. I'm not happy with how we ended the match." Because we have things to work on in our team and for me too. "It's no doubt it's a foul. "It's not a matter of what I think. As soon as the strike left his boot, there were none in St James' Park who did not expect the net to bulge. VAR noted there was no clear and obvious error with the official's decision. That was my assessment of it."

(AE) What a move this would be for a Chelsea team already loaded with attackers, just the latest sign that no one besides (probably) Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are safe in their status with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues. This time around, Lukaku scored 15 goals in 44 appearances (all competitions – 8 in 26 in the Premier League), bringing his Chelsea career total to 15 goals. His quality is clear for all to see and he would slot in well to the 3-4-2-1 system and is very comfortable on the ball and coming out of the back to start attacks. It is reported (below) that Chelsea will pay the Norwegian side $12.7 million for Fofana. The focus at Chelsea will likely now be on selling players and they will have to move on a lot of fringe players to offset this huge spending spree. This asks more questions of Mohamed Salah, who is entering the final year of his deal at Anfield (NM). (JPW) QUESTIONABLE: Fabian Schar (facial). Joe Gomez might not be a first- (or second-) choice center back for Liverpool anymore, with Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip both out-appearing him last season, but the 25-year-old is keen to continue his seven-year stay an Anfield. QUESTIONABLE: Boubacar Traore (hip), Hee-chan Hwang (thigh). They haven’t been shy about splashing the cash on players needed in key areas of the pitch in the past (Virgil van Dijk and Alisson prove that) and Fernandez slots into that category as Liverpool’s midfield needs strengthening and his signing would allow them to be pretty settled for the next four to five years.

Minute-by-minute report: Join Rob Smyth for updates as Newcastle look to boost their top-four hopes.

Isak made a brilliant run down the inside-left channel, moved into the area and slid a low cross that took a couple of ricochets and led to a rare old scramble. Is this a topic for the Knowledge?” 57 min Podence tricks Guimaraes on the edge of the D and is fouled, giving Wolves a decent opportunity. 30 min Jimenez shapes a curler from 25 yards that is pushed away by Pope, falling to his left. We’ve just seen the foul (sic) by Jimenez on Schar that led to Isak’s goal, and there’s a decent case that he won the ball fairly. It’s a not dissimilar position to the goal, maybe five yards closer. Trippier deliberately swings a corner beyond the far post. The goal came from a debatable free-kick, while Nick Pope might have conceded a penalty (and been sent off) after being robbed by Raul Jimenez in the area. 74 min Although the manner of the goal was unfortunate, Newcastle have been punished for sitting on a one-goal lead. I don’t think Burn’s was as bad as Casemiro – the point of contact was lower. It was a comfortable enough save in the end. This is a huge goal for Newcastle, celebrated wildly by the scorer.
