Vítor Pereira’s Wolves travel to Newcastle United on Saturday in a state of crisis. The club sit bottom of the league, having lost all three of their opening matches.
Their task to claim a first point is immense. They visit a ground where they have won just once in their last 22 attempts. Consequently, they are not just fighting for a result but also to avoid the worst start to a season in their 127-year history.
Wolves XI vs Newcastle – Predicted lineup and team news
Wolves team news
Vítor Pereira’s team selection has been hampered by injuries, but he has received a major boost up front. The team has been sweating on the fitness of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who was nursing an Achilles injury.
However, he is now expected to pass a late fitness test to lead the attack. Elsewhere, the team’s defensive depth is being tested. Ki-Jana Hoever and Hugo Bueno are both facing late fitness tests, which could leave the squad stretched even further.

As a result, Pereira will likely rely on a back three of Santiago Bueno, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Ladislav Krejčí to provide some much-needed defensive steel.
They face a tough task against a Newcastle side that is statistically strong at the back. In midfield, Andre and João Gomes will be tasked with a disciplined performance. They will support an attack led by Strand Larsen, with Jhon Arias and Fer Lopez providing creativity from the wings.
