Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Premier League Records, Stats, Goals at St. James’ Park, Head to Head & everything to know

Newcastle United will be keen to put behind their recent poor run of results when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to St. James’ Park. This match has all the necessary ingredients to be an interesting watch. The home side have been excellent in the first half of the campaign. However, they have not been able to maintain that level since the turn of the year. In recent matches, their form has been extremely worrisome, which has left a lot of their supporters concerned.

This poor streak has also seen Newcastle United drop out of the Champions League places. They are also currently in the middle of a three-game losing run in all competitions, something the Magpies will hope to end it soon. However, it is going to take a lot of effort, particularly against a Wolverhampton Wanderers’ side that are capable of giving a tough fight to any team on a given day. Inconsistency might also be the problem for Wolves but they have done well in recent weeks to climb out of the bottom three places.

Placed 13^th in the table, Wolverhampton Wanderers have 27 points from 26 games. Even though there is a good gap between them and the bottom three sides, it could all change real quick, hence Wolves will be eager to steer clear of the relegation places as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Newcastle United have 41 points from 24 games to be placed sixth in the Premier League standings. They could move past Liverpool, who are placed fifth in the table, with a victory in this match on Sunday.
