Steve Bruce’s Newcastle are looking for their first win of 2020 as they take on high-flying Wolves at Molineux.
The Magpies could only draw with Rochdale last weekend as concerns about their form continue and a trip to Wolves is probably not the opportunity Newcastle boss Bruce would choose to get off the mark this term.
Newcastle drew with Wolves earlier in the season and earned a draw at Molineux last season but in a rare 3pm kick off United will be looking to go one better.
When is Rochdale vs Newcastle?
The match takes place on Saturday, January 11. The action gets under way at 3pm from Molineux.
