If you are a Newcastle United supporter, you have to be feeling pretty pretty pretty good (Larry David voice) right now. After a very disappointing campaign, they have come out of the gates strong. And now they travel to Wolves, where they’ll face a side that looks pretty weak right now.
Unless something very unexpected happens, Eddie Howe’s men should make it three wins (and no losses) from the first four matches.

Of course, nothing is in the books until it actually is done and dusted, so Howe will need to go with his strongest team possible in order to get the job done.
We think that looks like this.
Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at Wolves
Nick Pope; Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Lewis Hall; Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali; Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, Anthony Gordon
Prediction: Newcastle 1, Wolves 0
While Toon have certainly shown some vulnerabilities on the young season, Wolves look a mess. The Geordies should get it sone.
