Steve Bruce Newcastle United

Newcastle United have so far managed to pick up only eight points so far in the Englis Premier League and next up they take on Wolves at St James’ Park.

The Magpies have made a very poor start to the new season managing to pick up only two wins so far and in their last five matches, Steve Bruce’s men have won just four out of a possible 15 points.

Wolves, on the other hand, have not tasted defeat in their past four league games and Santo’s side have managed to pick up points against the likes of Man United, Leicester City and even Man City.

Newcastle United have been in real poor form this season so we predict that Wolves will have a merry time at St James’ Park and hopefully also pick up all three points
