The team sheets are in at St James’ Park, where Newcastle United take on Wolves in today’s 3pm kick-off.

Eddie Howe’s Mags are looking for their first win of the 2025/26 season, while Vitor Pereira’s Wolves sit rock bottom of the table after three straight defeats so far.

Here is how the two sides line up, featuring a few changes from Howe from our 0-0 draw at Leeds last time out:

Confirmed line-ups

Newcastle XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes

Subs: Ramsdale, Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Krafth, Osula, Elanga, Willock, Miley

Wolves XI: Johnstone, R.Gomes, Mosquera, Agbadou, Toti, H.Bueno, Krejci, Andre, J.Gomes, Hwang, Arokodare.

Subs: Bentley, Doherty, S.Bueno, Wolfe, Tchatchoua, Munetsi, Bellegarde, Arias, Lopez

It’s a debut for club record signing Nick Woltemade, as the 6ft 6” German will be looking to make an equally big impression today.

Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey of course miss out due to injury, with Anthony Gordon also absent once again through suspension.

For Wolves, Jorgen Strand Larsen is absent once again, having missed their 3-2 defeat to Everton last time out and Norway’s two games over the international break.
