Newcastle United head into their fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers on a five game winning streak and numerous impressive defensive performances. The side hasn’t conceded in five hundred and forty minutes of football and have outgunned nearly every side in the country.
Fresh from the six – nil rout of Queens Park Rangers, Rafa’s lads will have to continue their momentum to hopefully take top spot. Jonjo Shelvey has finally hit his stride, with his second goal a strong contender for goal of the month. New boys Clark and Hanley also grabbed their first goals for the side, whilst Aleksander Mitrovic tapped in his first of the season to get off the mark.
Wolves come into the game following a four nil beating by surprise package Barnsley. New man Walter Zenga confirmed the players would return to training the next morning to avoid a similar disaster.
Here are the last five fixtures.
