Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
Thanks to a 4-0 defeat of Crystal Palace last week, Newcastle United have now won four of their last five Premier League fixtures, keeping a clean sheet in the course of each victory. While that run has helped the Magpies into the top six, they suffered a setback in midweek when losing to Borussia Dortmund on home turf - their first Champions League defeat for over 20 years. A 1-0 reverse to the Bundesliga club also ended Newcastle's eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions and a five-game winning streak at St James' Park.
