Wolves preview: Yet to win in the league
Wolves came from a goal down to secure a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest last time out.
That point was the first the Midlands club have managed to attain in their opening three league games and Gary O'Neil will be hoping to build upon that result this weekend.
Enso Gonzalez Medina, Sasa Kalajdzic and Boubacar Traore are the three main injury concerns for the hosts ahead of the Newcastle game.
Predicted lineup: Johnstone (GK), Dawson, Semedo, Ait-Nouri, Toti, Mosquera, Lemina, Bellegarde, J. Gomes, Strand Larsen & Cunha

The Magpies secured their second league win of the season before the international break at home to Tottenham.
Alexander Isak scored one of Newcastle's two goals in a 2-1 win over the Londoners, the striker's first in the league this season.
Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley, Callum Wilson and Joseph Willock look set to miss the trip to Molineux this weekend through injury but Fabian Schar returns to the squad following a suspension.
Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Burn, Schar, Kelly, Livramento, Guimaraes, Tonali, Barnes, Joelinton, Isak & Gordon

Player to watch: Alexander Isak
Newcastle's Swedish superstar scored 25 goals in all competitions last season and opened his account for the new Premier League season last time out against Tottenham.
Now that Isak has scored in the Premier League this season we're expecting the goals to flow for the former Real Sociedad striker, and wouldn't be surprised to see him score the winner against Wolves on Sunday.
Will Isak score in back-to-back Premier League games?
Isak scored one goal against Wolves last season when Newcastle claimed a 3-0 home win over the Midlands club and we're backing the talented forward to put in another top performance this weekend.
