Murphy keeps his place in the starting XI - Team news for Newcastle v Wolves is in

Eddie Howe has thrown up no real surprises with his starting XI to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Gary O'Neil's Wolves side come to St James' Park for a 3pm kick-off today where they will come up against a familiar-looking Newcastle United starting lineup.

We expected to see Howe revert back to type after making five changes in midweek in the FA Cup against Blackburn and we were almost spot on with our prediction.

Jacob Murphy starts ahead of Miguel Almiron

Miguel Almiron missing out for Jacob Murphy is the one call we didn't predict, but we're not altogether shocked by it either.

Sven Botman missed out on Tuesday night after a horror show against Arsenal, but as expected the Dutchman has been reinstated to the side for today's Premier League showdown.

The bench is once again fairly strong with the likes of Tino Livramento, Elliot Anderson, Harvey Barnes, Lewis Miley and Miguel Almiron all more than capable of changing things up when introduced.

Newcastle must start winning at home starting today

As expected, Wolves are without Hwang Hee-Chan after he picked up a hamstring injury in midweek, they're also missing Matheus Cunha which will be another boost for Eddie Howe.

These two sides are always fairly evenly matched with a draw being the most common outcome, but simply will not do for Newcastle today.

The Magpies need to get back to winning ways after drawing too many games lately and a home win would be the ideal catalyst for a good run of results. Howay the lads!
