Newcastle United team news as Eddie Howe goes with change fans wanted

Eddie Howe went with the selection call that fans had been calling for ahead of the clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers this evening. Bruno Guimaraes came in for injured Joe Willock, who has a knee issue, with the Brazil international starting his first game at St James' Park.

The other change to Howe's line-up was Sweden star Emil Krafth who came in for Javier Manquillo after the ex-Liverpool man suffered a bad game in the 5-1 defeat at Spurs.

Howe did not opt to make any changes to the heart of his defence despite the goals flying in last weekend with Dan Burn and Fabian Schar still in the middle. And he went for a three-man attack of Ryan Fraser, Allan Saint-Maximin and Chris Wood.

Newcastle were looking to address a slump of three defeats in a row in the Premier League.
