Wolves host Newcastle United at Molineux this afternoon while they aim to extend their unbeaten start to 2026.
Rob Edwards’ side has moved through a difficult period and arrives at this fixture with newfound confidence following a run of five points from their last three league outings. The Old Gold also secured a dominant 6-1 FA Cup victory over Shrewsbury Town recently, signalling a sharp improvement in their attacking output. However, they face a significant test against a Newcastle side currently on a three-game winning streak in the top flight.
Wolves Team News
Rob Edwards manages a nearly full-strength squad following a string of positive fitness updates. Emmanuel Agbadou is available for selection after returning from AFCON duty, while both Rodrigo Gomes and Ladislav Krejčí have cleared late fitness tests to be included in the matchday squad.
Notably, the hosts will be without Marshall Munetsi, who recently departed the club on loan, and Tanda Chirewa, who is sidelined with illness.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Toti Gomes have returned to individual training but are not yet ready for competitive action. Consequently, Edwards is expected to stick with a back three, with Mateus Mané—who has scored in his last two games—starting in midfield as he aims to become one of the youngest players to score in three consecutive Premier League matches.
Wolves Predicted Lineup
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted XI: Sa; Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Arias, Mane, J. Gomes, H. Bueno; Arokodare, Hwang
