Newcastle United are set to continue their impressive form on Wednesday night as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James’ Park.
Eddie Howe’s side has been unstoppable, winning their last five Premier League matches and eight in all competitions. Their streak includes dominant victories over Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Aston Villa.
Key to this success is Alexander Isak, who has been in electric form, scoring 10 goals in his last nine appearances. In contrast, Wolves are battling for survival under new manager Vitor Pereira.
Sitting 17th in the league and only avoiding the relegation zone on goal difference, they come into this match desperate for a positive result.
Their last league game was a 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest, though they recently secured an FA Cup win at Bristol City.
Wolves’ record against Newcastle is poor, with just one win in their last 11 encounters. Earlier this season, the Magpies triumphed 2-1 at Molineux in September.
The match kicks off at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, January 15, and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 3, with streaming available on Discovery+.
Team News:
Newcastle have injury concerns but are likely to include key players such as Alexander Isak, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock, and Sven Botman.
Missing out are Harvey Barnes, Emil Krafth, Nick Pope, Jamaal Lascelles, and Callum Wilson. Wolves will be without Toti Gomes, Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez Medina, and Yerson Mosquera.
