Newcastle United return to Premier League action when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park this afternoon (kick-off 3pm).
Eddie Howe's side were in league action last weekend but suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Arsenal following an own goal from Sven Botman plus strikes from Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Jakub Kiwior. Joe Willock added a late consolation goal at the Emirates after coming on as a substitute in what was his first appearance since November having battled back from an Achilles injury.
Willock was then included in the starting XI for the visit to Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round of the FA Cup three days' later. The Magpies drew 1-1 during normal time before winning 4-3 on penalties after Martin Dubravka denied Sammie Szmodics and Dominic Hyam .
Howe made five changes for the trip to Ewood Park and could again rotate his team against Wolves, who sit ninth in the Premier League table one point above Newcastle.
