Thanks to Southampton’s nightmare 9-0 defeat to Leicester City on Friday, Newcastle have moved from the relegation zone and are now 17th in the Premier League.
The Magpies next take on Wolves at St. James’ Park on Sunday afternoon.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side didn’t have the best of starts to this season, but their performances have significantly improved and they haven’t tasted defeat for over a month.
Wolves haven’t won a single Premier League fixture against Newcastle United and this weekend is a very good opportunity for them to put an end to that run.
The Magpies shouldn’t be written off, however, especially after their gritty performance against Chelsea, albeit in a 1-0 defeat.
A win for Steve Bruce’s men might see them reach the top-15, while a defeat could see them head into the relegation zone, provided Norwich City beat Manchester United.
Here’s a look at how Newcastle might line-up against Wolves on Sunday.
