Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United have the honour of closing out this weekend's Premier League fixtures with a Sunday afternoon showdown at Molineux.
Wolves:
Gary O'Neil’s side has struggled in their opening fixtures, with two defeats against Arsenal (2-0) and Chelsea (6-2) before managing a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest. Despite an impressive long-range goal from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Wolves were unable to find a winning second strike. Their recent form at Molineux has been concerning, with five defeats from their last six league matches at home and a worrying defensive record, having conceded 15 goals in that span. A 2-0 EFL Cup victory over Burnley did provide a brief respite, but the team remains in the Premier League relegation zone and is in dire need of a positive result to lift their fortunes.
Newcastle:
Newcastle United has made an impressive start to the season, accumulating seven points from their first three Premier League matches and sitting fifth in the table. Eddie Howe’s side has shown resilience and attacking prowess, with notable victories over Southampton and Nottingham Forest and a strong home win against Tottenham Hotspur. Although their unbeaten run was challenged by a contentious draw against Bournemouth, Newcastle remains in good shape, having not been shut out in any of their four fixtures this season. Their impressive away form includes a five-match unbeaten streak against Wolves, with recent victories demonstrating their ability to score consistently. Newcastle fans will hope their team continues this form, especially after international breaks, as they aim to extend their solid start and keep up the pressure at the top of the table.
Prediction: 1-2
