THE PREDICTION

After their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Man Utd last weekend, 17th-placed Newcastle will now be looking nervously over their shoulders, with just three points now separating them and 18th-placed Fulham. Here they host Wolves, who head into this match in good form having picked up ten points from the last 12 available to them. Three points would be massive for Newcastle’s survival prospects and the Magpies will look at taking the game to Wolves with home advantage in their favour. However, this will likely lead to Newcastle leaving pockets of space in behind for Wolves’ pace outlets such as Adama Traore and Pedro Neto to take advantage of. The last five Premier League encounters between these two sides have seen both teams score and the same outcome is expected here, regardless of who comes out on top.
