Newcastle United return to action when they take on Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.

Here are all the details you need to know about the game…


WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

After losing matches at Wembley and the Etihad Stadium in the last fortnight, Newcastle are back on home soil as they host Wolves at St James’ Park.

The two sides met at Molineux in late August, with Allan Saint-Maximin’s dramatic stoppage-time strike enabling the Magpies to claim a 1-1 draw.

Recent games between Sunday’s opponents on Tyneside have tended to be tight – of the last four matches, two have finished in a draw, one ended in a one-goal win to Newcastle and the other saw Wolves triumph by a one-goal margin.


WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?

Sunday’s game kicks off at 4.30pm.


ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

No – Sunday’s game at St James’ is completely sold out. A final batch of around 200 tickets were made available for home supporters in the Leazes End on Tuesday after Wolves failed to sell their full allocation, but they were quickly snapped up.


IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?

Yes, Sunday’s game is being televised live on Sky Sports, and will be shown on the Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football channels.

With the game being televised live, there will be no domestic streaming in the UK.

Radio commentary will be available on BBC Radio Newcastle and BBC Five Live, and The Northern Echo’s Scott Wilson will be at St James’ Park providing a live blog, report, ratings, reaction and analysis.


WHAT IS NEWCASTLE’S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Newcastle’s main injury doubt revolves around Fabian Schar, with the Swiss centre-half having missed last weekend’s game at Manchester City because of the after-effects of the concussion he suffered during the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United.

Schar has a history of previous concussion incidents, so Newcastle’s medical staff will be treading carefully as they ease the defender back into action. If Schar is unavailable on Sunday, Jamaal Lascelles is likely to continue alongside Sven Botman at the heart of the back four.

Joelinton is definitely out after picking up his tenth booking of the season against Manchester City, so Joe Willock is set to return to the starting side.

Bruno Guimaraes suffered an ankle injury against Manchester City, but the Brazilian has trained this week and is expected to be available.

Eddie Howe will have to decide whether to stick with the out-of-form Callum Wilson in attack, or start with Alexander Isak, who caught the eye once again after leaving the bench at the Etihad Stadium.

Newcastle (probable, 4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Lascelles, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.


HOW ARE WOLVES SHAPING UP?

Wolves have been struggling in the bottom half of the table for most of the season, but they climbed to 13th position after grinding out a welcome 1-0 win over Tottenham last weekend.

That was their first win in four matches, and left them five points clear of the bottom three ahead of their trip to Tyneside.

Diego Costa is an injury doubt after he was forced off in the first half of the win over Spurs – if he fails to make it, Raul Jimenez, who came off the bench at the weekend, will start in attack.

Hee-Chan Hwang and Boubacar Traore could return to Julen Lopetegui’s squad following injury, but Sasa Kalajdzic and Chiquinho remain out.

Wolves (probable, 4-2-3-1): Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Jonny; Neves, Lemina; Sarabia, Nunes, Neto; Jimenez.
