Eddie Howe spoke to Sky Sports: ““With everything we have coming up this month it’s about players feeling good. I’m pleased with the team, I like the look of us.

“Hopefully that fatigue is gone and we are back to our best physically. Mentally they have been really good and I expect them to be. It’s a great month for us.

“They have done well in recent games, been very competitive. They have rhythm. For us the start of the game is going to be absolutely crucial.”

Rob Edwards spoke to the BBC about the Wolves revival: “It’s still early days but performances have steadily been getting better. It’s nice now that has been backed with results. Results feed confidence and belief.”

For Wolves, no Jorgen Strand Larsen in the starting lineup despite his hat-trick against Shrewsbury, and Andre into the team instead of Jhon Arias is the one change from the draw with Everton.

Kieran Trippier in for Lewis Miley among four changes in the Newcastle team. Nick Woltemade is back, with Yoane Wissa benched. Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes in, Jacob Ramsey and Jacob Murphy out.

Preamble

Wolves looked dead and buried but now, if relegation is still close to a certainty, there are signs of life. Newcastle, whose form had improved until being well beaten by Manchester City in the Carabao, find themselves up against a motivated opponent. Wolves are unbeaten in 2026, and the atmosphere at Molineux is much improved. Can it continue?
