Team Analysis
Eddie Howe's red-hot Newcastle United side are out to record their ninth straight win in all competitions when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park on Wednesday night. Both teams eliminated lower-league opposition from the FA Cup over the weekend, as the Magpies survived a scare to sink Bromley, while Vitor Pereira's men conquered Bristol City away from home.

The only blot on the Newcastle notebook from their FA Cup win over Bromley was the muscular injury that forced Harvey Barnes off at half time, and Howe has conceded that the winger could spend a month in the infirmary. The Magpies already had to cope without the newly-stricken quartet of Alexander Isak (thigh), Sven Botman (groin), Jacob Murphy (muscle) and Joe Willock (knock) for the third-round tie, but none of the four is believed to be carrying a serious problem, and appearances in midweek have not been ruled out for any of them.

Odds Analysis
The importance of Cunha's return for Wolves cannot be overstated, and doubts over the fitness of a couple of Newcastle's own attacking threats may give the travelling faithful hope of a St James' upset. The visitors still possess the worst defensive record in the division, though, and Howe's men still have our vote to edge a close contest and extend their victorious streak to a terrific nine matches.

Pick: Newcastle United
