Wolves preview: Good start to 2026
Performances did appear to be improving with narrow defeats against Liverpool and Arsenal, and now Wolverhampton Wanderers are beginning to be more positive after a four-match unbeaten run of form across all competitions ahead of this one.
Rob Edwards’ side shared a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford to round off 2025 before a 3-0 hammering of fellow strugglers West Ham United, a 1-1 draw with Everton and then a 6-1 demolition of Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup.
Newcastle preview: Inconsistent Newcastle
Newcastle United have been inconsistent throughout this season since their tumultuous summer transfer window and, just as they appeared to be stringing results together, they come into this one on the back of a worrying and frustrating week.
Having escaped an FA Cup third round tie with AFC Bournemouth by winning a penalty shootout after a thrilling 3-3 draw at St James’ Park, the Tynesiders then suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Manchester City in the first-leg of their EFL Cup semi-final in midweek.

Wolves vs Newcastle prediction
Wolves had been becoming a lot tougher to beat, or at least score against, and now Edwards appears to have found something in terms of attacking patterns of play, especially with the development and evolution of both Mateus Mane and Jhon Arias. Newcastle will head down to the midlands fully expecting to win but it could be a tougher test than anticipated just a couple of weeks ago.
Wolves vs Newcastle tip: Double chance – Wolves to win or draw
