The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.

Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo both went straight back into the Wolves side as Gary O’Neil made two changes for the visit of Newcastle. Matt Doherty and Joao Gomes dropped to the bench as Lemina and Semedo came back from suspension.

Callum Wilson replaced the injured Alexander Isak in the only change to the Newcastle side that started Wednesday’s 1-0 Champions League defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund. There was no Sandro Tonali in the squad as the Italy midfielder begins a 10-month ban for betting offences.

This time Schar stops Neto's right-wing run in its tracks with a timely interception, but Newcastle then lose the ball and allow Cunha to test Pope with a mishit shot from 18 yards. It's a straightforward save for the goalkeeper.

Gordon does well to ride a challenge and then almost makes his way to the left byline, but Semedo covers across; then, Wolves snuff out the danger following Newcastle's short-corner routine.

Remarkably, six of Newcastle's eight previous Premier League away games against Wolves have ended in a 1-1 draw, and it would be fair to expect both teams to score again today, based on the early evidence.

Lemina is brought down by Bruno Guimaraes in midfield, winning his team a free-kick. It is set to be quite a battle between the pair today - both boast a good engine.

Wolves counter: scuffing an attempt from outside the area, Traore sees his shot drift far wide of the left-hand post.

Newcastle enjoy their first prolonged period of build-up play, following a frentic end-to-end start. It's been typical Premier League fare so far.

CLOSE! WIth Dawson continuing to back off, Longstaff is invited forward and reaches the right side of the area, from where he zips a low shot across goal and sends Sa scrambling - it just misses the left-hand post!

Following a second successive corner from the left, the ball eventually breaks to Ait Nouri 20 yards out from goal, but he is off balance when sending his shot spiralling well over the crossbar.

It's been a pleasingly open start to this game, and Wolves earn their first corner-kick on the left, following Burn's clearance.

A typically teasing cross from the right by Trippier meets Gordon's header just inside the box, but the latter's header is skewed well off-target and is ultimately cleared away by the Wolves defence.
