    Premier League:Wolves (a)
    please log in to view this image


    Monday sees the Magpies on live TV once again, this time trekking to Molineux for an 8pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.

    However our 2-1 success against Burnley back in November finally ended that woeful PL record in matches played on a Monday night.

    Tickets remain on sale - away allocation tbc.

    This will be United's fourth-ever Premier League visit to this venue and we're yet to be beaten there, winning one and drawing the other two.NUFC: Miguel Almiron has now received his visa and returned to the UK to join in training ahead of an expected debut on Monday night.

    Stats: Mags @ Molineux - last 10:

    2016/17 Won 1-0 Mitrovic
    2011/12 Won 2-1 Ba, Gutierrez
    2010/11 Drew 1-1 Carroll
    2003/04 Drew 1-1 Shearer
    2002/03 Lost 2-3 Jenas, Shearer(pen) (FAC)
    2002/03 Won 2-0 LuaLua 2 (FR)
    1992/93 Lost 0-1
    1991/92 Lost 2-6 Quinn, G.Peacock
    1990/91 Lost 1-2 Clark
    1989/90 Won 1-0 Scott

    Referee: Graham Scott - a second outing of the season for the Oxfordshire-based whistler, coming after the 0-4 loss at Anfield on Boxing Day.

    We have finished on the winning side when he's taken charge of us - at both Leeds and Cardiff during the 2016/17 Championship campaign.

    Think we have a chance to pick up another couple of unlikely points in this one - if you'd asked me 2 weeks ago I'd have said best we could hope for would be a 0-0 draw but the defensive displays vs City and Spurs have given me confidence! We can stop other teams scoring, while we usually have a chance to score a goal ourselves - just pray Atsu isn't on the end of it.... Lejuene has been absolutely crucial to the defensive side of things, everything looks so much calmer and more composed at the back with him there, especially Lacselles. Just need Schar to stop trying to impersonate Shelvey and play it simple now.

    Would like to see a 4-5-1 with Almiron in the hole but think we'll stick with 5-4-1 with him coming on late off the bench.

    Going to say a sneaky 2-1 win with Perez opening the scoring, Jota equalizing and Almiron scoring the winner off the bench. #dreamer

    I reckon we will stifle them to death for 85 minutes then nick a late winner. Almiron will storm off after 75mins muttering that he didnt sign up to play as a 6th centre-back.

    4/1 for us to win has to worth a couple of quid. Not that I think we will like

    Left-back Paul Dummett (hamstring), goalkeeper Karl Darlow (elbow), as well as midfielders Ki Sung-yueng (hamstring) and Mo Diame (hip), have all recovered from their respective injuries and are available to take on Wolves.

    Shelvey and Elliot the only remaining injury worries.

    I'd be going 4-5-1 for this one:
    Dubravka
    Yedlin-Lacselles-Lejuene-Barreca
    Diame-Longstaff
    Ritchie-Almiron-Perez
    Rondon
    Woodman,Schar, Fernandez, Dummett, Ki, Hayden, Atsu

    Although we will line up 5-4-1:
    Dubravka
    Yedlin-Schar-Lacselles-Lejuene-Ritchie
    Perez-Hayden-Longstaff-Atsu
    Rondon

    Woodman, Fernandez, Dummett, Barreca, Diame, Ki, Almiron

    I reckon we are going to play some really good football in this one. We will run rings round them. We will be playing neat little triangles. We will look like a real team - they will hardly touch the ball.




    We will be Dancing with Wolves.

    Last night I ate some pubes on a cracker. They got stuck in the back of my throat too.
