The hosts are currently on their longest unbeaten run across all competitions of the season and will be looking to get back to winning ways. They have failed to score in five of their last eight league outings and might struggle here.

Wolverhampton have failed to score in two of their last four league games and also came up blank in their previous visit to St. James' Park, so they might struggle in this match. Considering the current form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw seems to be on the cards.
