Wolverhampton go up against Newcastle on Saturday for a Premier League meeting at St James' Park.

The Magpies should finish the round ahead of the visiting team in the table, as they are highly favoured by the bookmakers to claim all three points this coming Saturday against Wolverhampton. However, the guests will naturally do their best to bounce off their upcoming opponents.
