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.

Ledge there is no pile on mate, just that Raj lad playing the victim again. How the hell he can play the victim card on here is laughable. He is a keyboard warrior and a bully and when he gets the same treatment he squeals like a wounded miniature pig 😉

An update on my health situation - we have terminated the PluVicto treatment halfway through, because of the severity of the side effects - diarrhea, vomiting, and acid reflux.

And there was no evidence the treatment was having any positive effect in stopping the prostate cancer from spreading in the bones.

There are no treatments left for me to go on.

I will go into home hospice care now and will have a hospice nurse visit me at home regularly to ensure I am as comfortable as possible and we will treat the side effects of the treatments I have had.

It's down the final stretch now, and I have run out of treatments, and nature will now take its course.

I hope Newcastle can get many wins this season from now on, and I am at peace with all of this.

Thanks for all your help through the years - it's very much appreciated
