Wolverhampton Wanderers v Newcastle United: match preview

This article is more than 5 years old

Wolves are bounding after three successive wins and a fourth against Newcastle would be their best run of the season. It could also put them an impressive seven points above eighth place. Miguel Almirón is ready to debut now though and it will be exciting to see how the attacking playmaker fares. The Paraguay international has the potential to add goals to his side that are sorely needed. Only Huddersfield have scored fewer at present. Rafael Benítez will still fancy his chances of snatching a result though such is the calibre of this defence. Graham Searles
