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.

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.
