Schar out, Isak starts – Confirmed Newcastle team vs Wolves

Here’s the team Eddie Howe has gone with against Vitor Pereira’s side as the Toon look to match Kevin Keegan (93/94) and Rafa Benitez’s (16/17) record of nine-straight wins.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka – Livramento, Botman, Burn, Hall – Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton – Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

SUBS: Odysseas, Krafth, Trippier, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff, Miley, Almiron, Osula.

Wolves XI: Sa, R.Gomes, Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou, Ait-Nouri, Andre, J.Gomes, Guedes, Hwang, Larsen.

SUBS: Johnstone, Dawson, Semedo, Lima, Doyle, Bellegarde, Sarabia, Forbs, Cunha.

Howe has made NINE changes from Sunday’s 3-1 win over Bromley, where Livramento, bBurn, Hall, Tonali, Bruno, Murphy, Gordon and Isak replace Trippier, Schar, Kelly, Targett, Longstaff, Miley, Almiron, Barnes and Osula.

Alexander Isak is fit after shaking off a hamstring issue, while Sven Botman starts alongside Dan Burn at centre-back, with Fabian Schar missing from the squad.

In better news, Joe Willock is back in the squad after missing out on Sunday with a minor muscle injury.

For Wolves, top scorer Matheus Cunha returns from a two-match ban, but is on the bench along with Nelson Semedo and Craig Dawson.

A big chance to keep the run going and build on our push for a top-four finish, with Chelsea’s draw last night handing us a chance to leapfrog the Blues and move into fourth tonight.

Howay the lads!
