Howe’s golden nuggets before Newcastle travels to Wolves in an attempt to extend their winning streak to six games!
When Newcastle United visits Molineux on Saturday to play Wolverhampton Wanderers, they will be hoping to bounce back from their first Champions League loss earlier this week.
Newcastle’s recent 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace maintained a five-game undefeated record despite a 1-0 setback to Borussia Dortmund midweek. The Magpies will look to continue building on their impressive league run away from St James’ Park on MD10 of the Premier League.
Eddie Howe and the boys have a difficult task as Wolves, who are securely positioned in 12th place and have won their past three league games, defeated Man City on September 28.
With an amazing +15 goal differential, Newcastle is currently sixth in the Premier League standings, helped in large part by their recent annihilation of Bournemouth. With only one victory in their past six away Premier League games—coincidentally, an 8-0 triumph against AFCB—SJP’s recent away form has prompted concerns.
The suspended players Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo are anticipated to return to Wolves, while the injured players Alexander Isak, Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, and Sven Botman will most likely be missed by Newcastle. Sandro Tonali is still eligible to play as he awaits confirmation of a 10-month suspension for unlawful betting, according to Howe’s pre-game news conference. However, he may still be benched to help the Magpies escape any
a conflict with the football authorities.
From NUFC.com, here are a few of Howe’s Wisdom Nuggets.
Regarding Wolves, who last month began their bright streak with a victory against defending champion Manchester City…
“Gary O’Neill did a fantastic job; getting in there was a difficult responsibility for him. He has performed admirably; the victories over Bournemouth and Manchester City were noteworthy.
“They have a few very hazardous players.” We need to stay vigilant and bounce back from Wednesday night as soon as possible.
