Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce: "Wolves have got good players who play in a certain system and do it very well. They're a threat - they're a good side.

"We're at home against a very decent Wolves side but we're capable - we know that - and we'll have to be at our best to win."

Wolves grabbed a controversial late win against 10 men on their last visit to St James' Park, in December 2018.

Wolves beat 10-man Newcastle 2-1 at St James' Park last season, scoring the winner in stoppage time.

The Magpies have failed to win this fixture at home in the past three attempts and have had a player sent off on the last two occasions.

Newcastle have won just one of their four home league matches in 2019-20 (D2, L1).

Their tally of two league goals at home this season is the lowest in the top flight. However, they have also conceded just two goals at home, which is again the fewest.

Their five Premier League goals this season have been scored by five different players.

Newcastle haven't scored more than once in any of their last nine league games.
