TEAM NEWS<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Newcastle will assess Jose Enrique’s hamstring problem, while Leon Best is out with an ankle injury.<\/b><\/p>\n

Danny Guthrie is expected to deputise for key midfielder Cheik Tiote, who begins a two-game suspension. <\/p>\n

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says Sylvan Ebanks-Blake will replace Kevin Doyle, who hurt his knee playing for Ireland. <\/p>\n

McCarthy has confirmed that will be the only change from the side which won at Aston Villa, although Michael Mancienne and Stephen Hunt could be on the bench. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Newcastle<\/b><\/p>\n

Suspended: <\/b>Tiote (two matches), R Taylor (one match) <\/p>\n

Doubtful<\/b>: Enrique (hamstring), Ireland (thigh) <\/p>\n

Injured<\/b>: Ben Arfa (broken leg), Best (ankle), Gosling (knee), Smith (ankle) <\/p>\n

Wolves<\/b><\/p>\n

Doubtful<\/b>: Guedioura (fitness) <\/p>\n

Injured<\/b>: Doyle (knee), Edwards & Zubar (both back) <\/p>\n

MATCH PREVIEW<\/b><\/p>\n

The last time Wolves won a top-flight match at Newcastle was 7 February 1959, the same day Wanderers boss Mick McCarthy was born. A fortnight ago McCarthy’s side claimed their first win at Aston Villa for 31 years, but if they are to end their long wait for victory at St James’ Park they will have to cope without key man Kevin Doyle.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tThe rest of the team is the same apart from Doyle… Anyone who is watching this can sort their free-kicks and corners out. I don’t give a flying hoot<\/b>

<\/p>\n

The Republic of Ireland striker damaged knee ligaments on international duty and will be sidelined for between four and eight weeks, potentially ruling him out of Wolves’ remaining fixtures. <\/p>\n

While Wolves’ survival hopes have risen following a run of one defeat in six games, the reverse is true for opponents Newcastle. The Magpies begin the weekend in midtable but have won only one of their last nine league games, and are just four points above the relegation zone. <\/p>\n

Newcastle this week announced financial results which show they made a \u00a317m loss last season, which they spent in the Championship. The club are now far better off, thanks in part to the \u00a335m raised by Andy Carroll’s sale, but the figures are a timely reminder of just how much is stake between now and the end of the season.<\/p>\n

MATCH FACTS<\/b><\/p>\n

Head-to-head<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 All three of the previous Premier League games between the sides ended in 1-1 draws. The reverse fixture in August produced 12 yellow cards, more than any other fixture this term. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Wolves’ last top-flight win at St James’ Park was a 4-3 victory on 7 February 1959. <\/p>\n

Newcastle<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Magpies have won only one of their last 10 games in league and cup (against Birmingham on 15 February). <\/p>\n

\u2022 They have drawn five of their last nine matches. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Newcastle have won just one of their last six Premier League games at St James’ Park. <\/p>\n

Wolves<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Wolves are unbeaten in their last four league matches, and their only defeat in the last six was at Arsenal. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Despite victory at Villa Park a fortnight ago, Wolves’ away record is the worst in the top-flight. They have taken eight points from their 15 league games away from Molineux. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Fit-again winger Michael Kightly could make his first appearance since November 2009. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Matt Jarvis has delivered 290 crosses this season, more than any other top-flight player. <\/p>\n
