Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United
It's 1st vs 5th in a big game towards the top of the division. If we win we'll be 11 points clear of the Magpies and 10 inside the playoff spots with 24 to play for. A loss would bring them back to just five behind us and concertina up the top of the table somewhat. So it'd be a really valuable three points if we can manage it.
Form has been mixed recently with only one win in four games in all competitions - although one of those games was a dead rubber in the League cup. Also we have lost four times this season and three have been to Sheffield United so happy not to be facing them again for a bit. In the reverse at St James' Park we won 4-1 so hopefully we can pull a similar one here.
Newcastle have a stronger squad than us so, even at home, we can't be complacent. Both teams are at full strength as well although our fitness is better. It's a tough one to call but hopefully we can find the right formation and pick up the result
