Newcastle preview: Won last seven in all competitions

The Magpies were away at Tottenham for their last league game and have won their two EFL and FA Cup games since that trip to the capital.

Spurs actually took the lead after just four minutes but Newcastle equalised two minutes later through Anthony Gordon and a goal from Isak put the visitors 2-1 before the break. Howe's men held firm in the second 45 to see their way to another impressive victory.

Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Nick Pope are expected to miss the Wolves game through injury.

Predicted lineup: Dubravka (GK), Burn, Botman, Livramento, Hall, Murphy, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Isak & Gordon

Wolves preview: Well beaten by Forest

Wolves might have had the home advantage in their last league game against Nottingham Forest but it didn't stop them from slipping to another defeat.

Former Wolves star Morgan Gibbs-White fired the visitors in front early on, and Forest doubled their lead just before the break. A third goal in injury time wrapped up the three points and brought an end to a miserable day for the Wolves faithful.

Yerson Mosquera, Enso Medina, Sasa Kalajdzic, Boubacar Traore and Toti Gomes won't be available for selection this week due to injury, but Matheus Cunha does return following a brief suspension.

Predicted lineup: Sa (GK), Doherty, Bueno, Ait-Nouri, Lima, Doyle, J. Gomes, Guedes, Cunha, Strand Larsen & R. Gomes

Player to watch: Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak has been in fantastic form for Newcastle and if he continues to score as he has been then he will surely eclipse his total of 21 league goals from last season.

We've backed Isak to score against Wolves on Wednesday night as the Swedish international is in red-hot form right now with ten goals in his last ten appearances across all competitions.

Will Isak score for a sixth game on the run?

Isak hasn't failed to score in a Premier League game since Newcastle's 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace back in November, so you can see why he's our player to watch in this game.
