Isaac Hayden completes a three-match ban, but fellow midfielder Matt Ritchie is back in training after recovering from an ankle injury and defender Florian Lejeune is also closing in on a return from knee ligament damage.

Ryan Bennett is expected to sit out for Wolves. The defender missed the 2-1 win at Slovan Bratislava on Thursday after injuring his groin against Southampton last weekend.

Forward Pedro Neto (hamstring) remains sidelined for Nuno Espirito Santo's side and defender Jesus Vallejo could return to the squad after being left out of the 18 in Slovakia while midfielder Ruben Neves may be recalled.

Wolves also suffered a late blow ahead of the match when defender Willy Boly suffered a serious ankle injury in training on Saturday and he did not travel to St James' Park with the rest of the squad.

Charlie's prediction

I watched the Wolves game last week and it was the same problem as last season. They play well against the bigger teams and then struggle against the likes of Southampton, who defend deep and make it very awkward for them.

Wolves need to get it down and feed it into the partnerships. We expect more quality with what we are seeing from them at the moment.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have the stress and strain of whether they attack or counter-attack, which is more of what they are used to. The supporters would prefer them to have a go, with Joelinton and Miguel Almiron, who has the pace and energy but cannot score goals. Do they commit to going for it, or do they just rely on the Longstaff brothers?

Steve Bruce will know he has to be careful. Newcastle are better deployed sitting in and are better suited playing two up front but they cannot really do that, so it will be another struggle of a game.

CHARLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (5/1 with Sky Bet)

Fantasy Football tip: Jamaal Lascelles has 25 Fantasy Football points, but since Newcastle got thumped at Leicester, it seems as though that was the kick they needed. Manchester United and Chelsea followed, but so easily could have been two clean sheets had they got the rub of their green. Lascelles is available for just £7.7m and has a favourable run of forthcoming fixtures. Play here
