Newcastle United is set to face Wolverhampton at Molineux today as they aim to secure their first three league wins in a calendar year for the first time in 30 years.
Eddie Howe’s team has climbed to 6th place in the Premier League following a strong three-game winning streak. Although they experienced a 2-0 defeat in the Carabao Cup semi-finals earlier in the week, their league form remains positive. However, injuries are affecting their defense, leading to several changes as they encounter a Wolves team that has been unbeaten in the league since the beginning of the year.
Newcastle Team News
Newcastle is facing a major defensive challenge, with multiple regular players unavailable. Fabian Schär is out for three months due to ankle surgery, joining Emil Krafth, Tino Livramento, and Dan Burn on the injury list. Jacob Murphy is also sidelined with a hamstring injury from the recent cup match against Manchester City.
William Osula is close to returning, but today’s match is likely too early for him. As a result, Howe will depend on the experience of Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman to strengthen the defense. Bruno Guimarães, who leads the league in defensive passes, will partner with Sandro Tonali in midfield, while Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes will support Nick Woltemade on the wings.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup
Newcastle United predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Guimarães, Tonali, Willock; Barnes, Woltemade, Gordon

The match is scheduled to take place at Molineux Stadium on Sunday, 18 January 2026, with kick-off at 14:00 GMT.
