It's back to the bread and butter of the Premier League for Newcastle United, with two testing St James' Park games in the space of four days. In-form AFC Bournemouth head north on Saturday, but first it's the turn of Wolverhampton Wanderers to try to stop Eddie Howe's juggernaut.

United have racked up eight consecutive wins all all competitions and will be confident of making that nine against a Wolves side that have picked up a little since the arrival of new manager Vítor Pereira, but who are still desperate for points at the bottom end of the Premier League table.

Newcastle should welcome back a host of first-team players rested from the starting line-up against Bromley in the FA Cup on Sunday, while Wolves have key forward Mattheus Cunha available after suspension. Here's all you need to know.

Early Newcastle United team news

Eddie Howe will welcome back Alexander Isak, Sven Botman, Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy to his squad this evening, although he will be without the injured Harvey Barnes. Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall all featured against Bromley as subs, but will resume their first-team sports, along with Tino Livramento and Dan Burn. Who Howe plays in central defence will be very interesting, with Martin Dubravka set to continue in goal with Nick Pope still ruled out.

Newcastle United vs Wolves referee

Stuart Attwell is tonight's referee in what will be his first St James' Park visit this season. He was in charge of the 4-0 win at Ipswich in December, so United will be hoping for a similarly quick start. In fact, United have lost only three times in the last 15 occasions when Atwell has been referee since 2019, including last season's 8-0 win at Sheffield United and 1-0 home success over Arsenal (the ball wasn't out Mikel).
