All the latest from St James' Park as Eddie Howe's Magpies take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
We are very much in a fight to stay in the Premier League and at no point have we ever allowed ourselves to think anything else. We need your help in the games ahead as we do our best to remain a Premier League team. With that in mind, I'd like to say a big thank you to all our travelling supporters who have stuck with us in recent games. The Wolves keeper is focused on European qualification, with his side at Newcastle tonight We've got work to do and we've got a very tough run of fixtures at the end of the season. Every game is tough in the Premier League, but being back at home and the run of games we've had, we really need to maximise now and get the job done. Just the two changes as the bulk of these #nufc players given a chance to respond after second-half capitulation. We know what it takes to put points on the board and win big games. Predicting a 1-1 draw, the former Newcastle striker wrote in his BetVictor blog: "Newcastle have lost their last three games, but they’ve had some tough fixtures, so I don’t think Eddie Howe will be too alarmed. What a noise inside St James' as the players make their way out of the tunnel Going to have to come off. #nufc needing that little bit of magic and quality to cut Wolves open as Jonjo Shelvey did with ball in behind there.

Newcastle vs Wolves: Chris Wood scored from the penalty spot to hand the Magpies yet another impressive victory to their already-impressive turnaround.
In games played since Jan. 21, Newcastle have won the second-most points (22) in the Premier League, behind only Liverpool (27). Even when accounting for sides with fewer games played during that stretch, the Magpies fall no lower than third in the form table, with Arsenal three points and two games fewer. Prior to their current run (more on that in a moment), they sat 19th in the table and looked a lost cause. The victory sends Newcastle (34 points) up to 14th in the Premier League table, leapfrogging Brentford as they (briefly) pull level on 31 games played.

I hope there will be a different Newcastle in the future but we have to play a certain way to get results at the moment." We need to get to 40 points and then build." So it's frustrating but we need to continue to work. It was the kind of game we expected it to be. Guimaraes is certain to play a starring role. I think within the first five minutes we created more than in the whole first half. "In the first half, I think we controlled the game with and without the ball. The difficulty is that we went on that winning run, and it was difficult to break the midfield up. It took a penalty to win the game but the players gave everything again. It is always good to score as a striker but ultimately we need points to get out of relegation battle and to build next season. "Bruno Guimaraes is going to be a mainstay of the team. "That is any lingering hope of Champions League football out the window," former Wolves striker Don Goodman said on Sky Sports commentary.
Newcastle United took a massive step towards English Premier League survival with a desperate 1-0 win over Wolves at St James' Park.
Watched by a crowd of more than 52,000 at St. James' Park, Newcastle thought it had taken a 24th-minute lead when a prone Wood fired home after Wolves had failed to clear Guimaraes' cross — after he and Miguel Almiron had cleverly exchanged passes. Wood finally got his chance with 18 minutes remaining. And sometimes the twain do meet
