Wolverhampton Wanderers host Newcastle United at Molineux on Sunday in the Premier League, looking to continue the momentum after two successive Premier League victories.
Wolves beat Leeds United 1-0 on Monday night, with a goal from Raul Jimenez deciding that game. On the other hand, Newcastle United had a late capitulation at home last week, as they lost 4-1 to Manchester United, after conceding three late goals in that match.
Wolves currently have two points more than Newcastle United in the Premier League, but at this early stage of the season, the league standings don't really count for much.
