Wolves are back in action on Saturday evening, as Gary O’Neil’s in-form side welcome Newcastle United to Molineux for a showdown in the Midlands on match week ten of the Premier League.

The last time Molineux hosted the fixture was in August 2022, as Bruno Lage’s side held the Magpies to a draw, with the fixture ending 1-1.
