Newcastle United will be looking to pick up their second straight win at St James' Park when Wolves visit on Sunday.
Matty Longstaff enjoyed a dream Premier League debut when the 19-year-old hit the winner against Manchester United to lift the Magpies clear of the relegation zone.
However, the respite proved to be short-lived as United were beaten at Stamford Bridge despite a solid defensive showing and dropped back into the bottom three.
The bottom end of the table already looks congested, and victory in front of the TV cameras on Sunday would lift United level on points with the visitors.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side endured a sluggish start to the campaign. But despite juggling the extra demands of Europa League fixtures, the visitors arrive on Tyneside on the back of an impressive seven-game unbeaten run.
Wolves sit 13th in the table at the time of writing, and secured one of the results of the season so far with an impressive victory at the home of the champions Manchester City.
Bruce will have to reshuffle his defence after confirming on Friday that Fabian Schar will miss Sunday's clash. Andy Carroll has also been ruled out, while the match comes too soon for Florian Lejeune and Matt Ritchie in their respective comebacks from injury.
Isaac Hayden is also unavailable as he serves the final game of his three-match suspension for his red card at Leicester City.
