Young Magpies face Wolves on Monday
Written by Tom Easterby
Newcastle United Under-23s travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers in Premier League 2 Division Two tonight (7pm kick-off).
The clash at AFC Telford United’s New Bucks Head ground sees the Magpies go in search of a win that would see them leapfrog Wolves and move into the top eight in the table.
United were beaten 2-0 by Brighton & Hove Albion last time out, with goals from Aaron Connery and Tyler Forbes sealing their fate at Whitley Park a week ago.
Wolves – who are coached by former Newcastle hero Scott Sellars – are unbeaten in their last five games in the league, but they have drawn three of those – including a goalless draw at Reading last time out.
Just a point separates the two sides going into Monday’s night’s clash, and the visitors will be looking to avenge the 1-0 defeat they suffered when the two teams met in the reverse fixture at St. James’ Park, when Donovan Wilson’s early goal won it for Wolves.
