Wolves v Newcastle: match preview

Newcastle have an excellent recent record at Molineux, they are unbeaten there since 2003, and this might not be a bad time for another visit, since Wolves have yet to hit top gear. On the other hand, Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have shown signs of progress after winning their past two matches and facing a team who have looked defensively vulnerable could be the chance their attack needs to really click. Newcastle could find themselves leaving Wolverhampton on the back of a hiding. Paul Doyle
