Newcastle have a chance to leap Liverpool in the league table with a win against Wolves. The Magpies sit sixth just one point behind the Reds who tumbled 1-0 at Bournemouth on Saturday.
Eddie Howe remains confident Newcastle can end their mini-skid. Victories have been in short supply in 2023 but this match at St. James’ Park represents an excellent chance to get back to winning ways.
This is the team I am predicting Howe will name for the late afternoon clash. It has three changes from the Manchester City defeat with Joe Willock in for the suspended Joelinton, Matt Targett in for Dan Burn, and Fabian Schar back in for Jamaal Lascelles.
The squad currently is in good shape fitness-wise. Only Emil Krafth and Harrison Ashby have been ruled out through injury. Wolves have a few more injury concerns though will still be able to field a formidable eleven.
Newcastle Injuries
Emil Krafth (knee), Harrison Ashby (hamstring), Joelinton (suspended)
Wolves Injuries
Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), (knee), Hugo Bueno (hamstring), Diego Costa (knee), Chiquinho (knee), Hee-Chan Hwang (hamstring – fitness test), Boubacar Traore (groin – fitness test)
The poll for this one shows fans are confident that today will be the day the string of poor results snaps. Over 70% are predicting a win; a result that would put Newcastle back into the Champions League discussion.

Comment #126Rotonda
Sorry I’m not sure what part of what I’ve said is supposedly disingenuous? I’ve said that he has a mammoth task on his hands and that we have already seen some positive results so far. We don’t know what goes on behind the scenes re these negotiations and in any case Ashworth has only been in post less than a year so perhaps patience is a virtue and give him time to revamp the infrastructure – as we can see we’re recruiting heavily into our South American emerging talent teams. It’ll take time for these revamps to bear fruit.
I’ve asked whether anyone critical of Ashworth so far can point to concrete evidence indicating how he is somehow responsible for Richards going to Chelsea or Perrone going to City? If you have said evidence I’m all ears. Otherwise, I’d suggest it’s not I being disingenuous.

It’s a blog, some clown once put up your details on here and nobody was happy about it, you included, you shouldn’t really go calling people cowards because they’re using an avatar and moniker, you yourself are using one.

Comment #134FtC,
As you know I’ve no wish to speak/debate or communicate with you, I think you are a truly obnoxious and odious individual. I was on talking football this morning yet you bring my name in to the conversation with a sneaky dig, you then accuse others of causing bother, you are an absolute blight on this blog with your holier than thou hypocrisy.

Comment #135It seems that Todd Boehly went in big for young Dujuan Richards and we just weren’t prepared to go to that level financially. They’ll have a limit no doubt for youngins. Maybe they just thought he wasn’t worth breaking it for.
Aye, a tad disappointing. But, I’m confident Ashworth and Nixon will find some quality youngsters for the future.

Please go and check it out. It’s me no 59 and if it was easy to change it on here i would, it’s pure stupidity having to contact Niel to change a picture, Especially when he is busy dealing with so many queries from yourself.
And your name on here means nothing, no one is asking for your home address.
Your just ashamed anyone from work or near where you live might get to know your woke views

Comment #139Raj, Ive got Martinelli and White on bench. When I looked at my H2H this morning, I thought Ive probably got this in the bag providing Arsenal don’t get a clean sheet with one of their defenders scoring. My opponent has three Arsenal defenders. Stands to get about 31 pts if it stays this way 🙁

Comment #140The trial was very lowkey, but maybe not lowkey enough. However I’m not sure how far under the RADAR you can get. Imagine the chelsea scouts knew all about him anyway. Shame.
