Callum will be along shortly with all the team news and build-up ahead of tonight's match between Wolves and Newcastle. In the meantime here's a look at our predicted line-ups:

Rafa Benitez and his Newcastle side face an unenviable task this evening. They face a Wolves side on a run of three successive Premier League wins and looking to establish themselves as the division's best of the rest.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have been excellent throughout the season, adjusting to the top flight with ease after winning the Championship title last season. And they will be favourites tonight against relegation-threatened Newcastle.

The hosts will not be taking anything for granted, though. Newcastle beat Manchester City only a couple of weeks ago and will be determined to avenge their 1-2 defeat at the hands of Wolves earlier in the season.

There's still no start for Newcastle's record signing, Miguel Almiron, who only makes the bench tonight. Benitez has gone with the same team that fell to a narrow defeat at Tottenham.

Wolves are unchanged, too, and will be hoping Raul Jimenez continues his rich vein of form in front of goal. The Mexican has scored three in his last two Premier League appearances.

Newcastle are playing a buoyant Wolves at perhaps the worst possible time. Tonight's hosts, as revealed by Opta below, are looking for a rare fourth victory in a row in the top flight. Molineux will, no doubt, be rocking.

Wolves' Raul Jimenez, who is looking for his tenth Premier League goal of the season this evening, has been giving some sage advice to Newcastle new boy Miguel Almiron. The Paraguayan forward, signed for £20m from MLS side Atlanta United on deadline day, could make his debut tonight.

If Wolves win tonight they will set have set a club record points tally in the Premier League. That, given they are newly promoted and there are still 13 games to play, is hugely impressive. 

A gap will begin to emerge to the sides below them, too, should they see off Newcastle. Wolves' last home game was a 3-0 victory over West Ham; a repeat of that performance will make it difficult for tonight's visitors.

Wolves 0-0 Newcastle

Newcastle start positively, playing some intricate football in the final third. Ritchie and Perez link up nicely but the the final pass is loose and rolls through for a goal kick.
