After a chaotic summer off the pitch, Newcastle finally get back to work on the pitch on Wednesday when they get their pre-season campaign under way.
The Magpies have made the long journey to China to compete in the Premier League Asia Trophy and they take on Wolves in the semi-finals, at the 13,000 capacity Nanjing Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.
It is the second time Newcastle have competed in the pre-season competition, having lost to Chelsea in the final of the 2003 version in Malaysia.
They will negotiate the competition having yet to appoint a permanent manager following the departure of Rafa Benitez.
Ben Dawson and Neil Redfearn will take temporary charge of the first team for the competition and will look to return to Tyneside with some sliverware.
When is Newcastle vs Wolves kick off?
The action gets under way at 11am (BST) on Wednesday. It will be directly followed by the second semi-final between Manchester City and West Ham.
