Newcastle-Wolverhampton, the probable formations
The 21stª day of the Premier League opens with Newcastle United in great form, fresh from 8 consecutive wins that have taken them to fifth place in the standings. Howe's team's goal is clear: to continue the race toward a place in Europe, taking advantage of the field factor against a struggling Wolverhampton.
Howe’s team has finally found the continuity it has been lacking, with a solid defense and a prolific attack. However, some physical problems are affecting the rearguard, with Schär disqualified and Botman not at his best. Livramento could replace Trippier on the right flank, while in midfield and attack no changes are expected.
Wolverhampton, which is third last in the standings with only 16 points, è in the midst of a salvation struggle and has struggled on the road, with only two wins away from home. Pereira’s team will have to do without some key players, including Cunha, who is disqualified, and Toti Gomes, who is injured, while André could return to midfield to try to stop Newcastle’s onslaught.
