NEWCASTLE XI TO FACE WOLVES: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar, Burn, S Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Willoc Murphy, Saint-Maximin, Isak.

One of the reasons for the mini slump is the lack of goals - Newcastle have only scored three goals in the top flight this year. Clearly that is no crisis for a club that had grown used to relegation battles and dissatisfaction. A month ago Newcastle were firmly in the top four, excited about a their trip to Wembley and a possible first domestic trophy since 1955, and all was good in the world. "Two big games (against Wolves and Nottingham Forest) because of where they are situated," Howe said. They are without a win in the Premier League since mid-January, lost at Wembley to Manchester United and now find themselves down in sixth. Eddie Howe has made as many as five changes to the side that lost 2-0 to Man City last weekend.

Five games without a win in all competitions is cause for concern for Newcastle and Eddie Howe is acutely aware of the need to beat Wolves to get their top ...

Traore netted a fine winner after coming off the bench against Spurs and is duly rewarded with a start today with kick off just minutes away. An early scare for Wolves as Jose Sa collides with Craig Dawson and drops a cross but he manages to jump on the loose ball in time. A couple of dangerous crosses are cleared away and then Wolves deal with the corner after the hosts go short - much to the frustration of the home crowd. Newcastle are really pressing high up and getting in the faces of the Wolves defenders, with a couple of misplaced passes and clearances already forced. A great switch of the play from Schar and Guimaraes is brought down on the edge of the area by Lemina yards outside the box. They then break up the other end and Traore plays a lovely ball in behind Burn but the big Newcastle defender recovers and clears the ball off Semedo and out for a goal kick.

Howe had no choice but to make a change in midfield with Joelinton banned but Joe Willock replaced him in the engine room. Jamaal Lascelles was benched again ...

Anthony Gordon was also injured with Allan Saint-Maximin playing ahead of him.

Minute-by-minute report: Join Rob Smyth for updates as Newcastle look to boost their top-four hopes.

Isak made a brilliant run down the inside-left channel, moved into the area and slid a low cross that took a couple of ricochets and led to a rare old scramble. Is this a topic for the Knowledge?” 57 min Podence tricks Guimaraes on the edge of the D and is fouled, giving Wolves a decent opportunity. 30 min Jimenez shapes a curler from 25 yards that is pushed away by Pope, falling to his left. We’ve just seen the foul (sic) by Jimenez on Schar that led to Isak’s goal, and there’s a decent case that he won the ball fairly. It’s a not dissimilar position to the goal, maybe five yards closer. Trippier deliberately swings a corner beyond the far post. The goal came from a debatable free-kick, while Nick Pope might have conceded a penalty (and been sent off) after being robbed by Raul Jimenez in the area. 74 min Although the manner of the goal was unfortunate, Newcastle have been punished for sitting on a one-goal lead. I don’t think Burn’s was as bad as Casemiro – the point of contact was lower. It was a comfortable enough save in the end. This is a huge goal for Newcastle, celebrated wildly by the scorer.

"At 1-1 the game is in the balance, with our recent run that was a real test of character for us. But we have to focus on the next one and carry on fighting to improve the wrong things." It's true, we have suffered a big mistake a lot of matches ago in Liverpool and today, for me, it was a penalty," he said. "The relegation fight will be until the last match. And because he's not trying to play the ball it would be a penalty, a red card and a ban for him. I'm not happy with how we ended the match." Because we have things to work on in our team and for me too. "It's no doubt it's a foul. "It's not a matter of what I think. As soon as the strike left his boot, there were none in St James' Park who did not expect the net to bulge. VAR noted there was no clear and obvious error with the official's decision. That was my assessment of it."
