Newcastle United v Wolves: Is the key Premier League game on TV? What’s the latest injury news?

Eddie Howe’s side capitulated at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, conceding five unanswered goals to leave with a 5-1 defeat.

And they don’t have long to reflect on this disappointment as they welcome Bruno Lage’s Wolves to St James’s Park.

Wolves continued their impressive season with a win over local-rivals Aston Villa on Saturday and will be looking to do the double over the Magpies following their 2-1 win in October - a match that, although we didn’t know it then, would turn out to be the last of the Mike Ashley era.
