Newcastle United host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park in what could prove to be a pivotal game in the race foe European football.
After Eddie Howe's side lost 4-1 away to Arsenal last weekend, Wolves jumped one place ahead of the Magpies in the Premier League table following their 1-0 win over relegation threatened Sheffield United.
It means Gary O'Neil's side are in ninth, one place and one point better off than United, who haven't won at home since beating Fulham 3-0 on December 16.

Both teams head into the game having progressed into the last eight of the FA Cup in midweek. Newcastle required penalties to advance past Championship side Blackburn Rovers. Twenty four hours later, Wolves beat Brighton and Hove Albion at Molineux via Mario Lemina's second minute goal.
