Wolverhampton Wanderers are seeking a fourth successive Premier League victory, while Newcastle United are aiming to return to winning ways after their late defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle have Paul Dummett (thigh), Ki Sung-yueng (thigh), Mohamed Diame (groin) and Karl Darlow (elbow) back after recovering from injury.

However, Rafa Benitez will be without Jonjo Shelvey (thigh) and Rob Elliot (surgery). 

Did you know?

Wolves, who won December’s reverse fixture, are looking to achieve a league double over Newcastle for the first time since 1991/92.

Newcastle can secure a third consecutive away win against Wolves for the first time in all competitions.

Wolves have lost all four of their PL matches played on a Monday, last winning such a top-flight fixture in May 1984.

Raul Jimenez, who has scored nine PL goals this season, could become just the second Mexican to reach double figures in a single campaign after Chicharito.
