Football experts have backed Newcastle United to overcome their Premier League hoodoo by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend. Just one win in eight league games has concerned Toon supporters as the season approaches crunch time.
Three defeats in a row across all competitions, albeit against top-flight heavyweights, is not conducive to a top-four finish. Defeats to Liverpool and both Manchester clubs threatened to derail the Magpies’ campaign but Eddie Howe and Co have a chance to set the record straight at St James’ Park.
They welcome a Wolves side brimming with confidence after beating Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. While that result benefitted Newcastle, there will be no second favours when Julen Lopetegui arrives on Tyneside.
