Newcastle United will look to break their winless streak when they welcome bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers in their fourth Premier League outing on Saturday.
The hosts are coming off a disappointing goalless draw against Leeds United last time out. Eddie Howe's side is still winless in their first three outings this season, drawing their season opener against Aston Villa and then narrowly losing 2-3 to the defending champions Liverpool in their second game. With just two points, the Magpies are placed 17th on the Premier League leaderboard.
Meanwhile, Wolves will be arriving at St. James Park on the back of three consecutive losses. Vitor Pereira's team has conceded eight goals so far and is struggling in their defense. The visitors began their season with a 0-4 humiliation against Manchester City, then fell 0-1 to AFC Bournemouth and suffered a 2-3 defeat at home to the Everton side last time out.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.

Newcastle vs. Wolves lineups, team news
Newcastle will be without Anthony Gordon who begins a three-match suspension following his red card against Liverpool in Gameweek 2.
Joelinton missed the last outing due to a groin problem but there is optimism he could return after the international break, although his fitness will be confirmed closer to kickoff. Jacob Ramsey, who suffered an ankle knock in the draw with Leeds, will undergo a late assessment.
Wissa, who was signed from the Bees on the deadline day, is expected to start after impressing for DR Congo with two goals and an assist during the break, while Woltemade is likely to feature from the bench.
Howe is likely to abandon the back five he trialled against Leeds, reverting to a more familiar back four with Lewis Hall expected to reclaim his spot at left-back.
In Gordon's absence, Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga should flank Wissa in attack.
Newcastle United predicted starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Pope (GK) — Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall — Bruno, Tonali, Ramsey — Elanga, Wissa, Barnes
Injured: Joelinton (groin, doubt), Ramsey (ankle, doubt)
Suspended: Gordon
Wolves have concerns over Strand Larsen after he returned early from Norway duty with a minor Achilles issue. He's a 50/50 for this game, with Hwang Hee-chan likely to lead the line again after scoring in the 3-2 loss to Everton.
Leon Chiwome is not expected to return before the end of October, while Ki-Jana Hoever is being assessed after a knee problem.
Hugo Bueno, who started at left wing-back in Gameweek 3, picked up a minor knock and will have a late fitness test, but David Moller Wolfe is expected to start after coming off the bench to assist against Everton.
Toti Gomes should start alongside Emmanuel Agbadou and Hugo Bueno. In midfield, the battle between Andre and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde continues.
Wolves predicted starting XI (3-4-3, right to left): Sa (GK) — Bueno, Agbadou, Gomes —Tchatchoua, Andre, Gomes, Moller Wolfe — Munetsi, Hwang, Arias
Injured: Chiwome (knee), Ki-Jana Hoever (knee, doubt), Strand Larsen (Achilles, doubt), Bueno (knock, doubt)
Suspended: None
