Newcastle United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park this evening.

Back-to-back losses against Champions League chasers Chelsea and Manchester United has allowed relegation rivals Fulham to close the gap from 10 games, where it sat a fortnight ago, down to just THREE points heading into tonight.

Scott Parker’s men don’t play until lunchtime tomorrow – where they travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace – and the Magpies have the chance to eradicate any chance of them dropping into the bottom three by picking up at least a point against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men on Tyneside.
