Gary O’Neil is preparing his Wolverhampton Wanderers lineup to take on Newcastle United at home in the Premier League this weekend. The team is coming off a positive result, earning their first point of the season in a draw against Nottingham Forest. Despite a tough start to the campaign, the team is looking to build on this momentum.
In their last match, O’Neil made some tactical changes, switching to a 4-4-1-1 formation and introducing new players to the starting XI. This seemed to provide better defensive stability and the team is hoping to continue this positive trend.
With new striker Jorgen Strand Larsen still settling in, the team is looking for more consistency in their attack. Despite facing a strong Newcastle side, O’Neil is unlikely to make many changes to his lineup.
Newcastle have had a promising start to the season, with two wins and a draw in their first three matches. Their recent victory over Tottenham Hotspur showcased their attacking prowess, with goals from Harvey Barnes and Alexander Isak.
Predicted Wolverhampton Wanderers XI against Newcastle:
- GK: Sam Johnstone
- RB: Nelson Semedo
- CB: Yerson Mosquera
- CB: Craig Dawson
- LB: Toti Gomes
- RM: Jean-Ricner Bellegarde
- CM: Mario Lemina
- CM: Joao Gomes
Despite the tough challenge ahead, O’Neil’s lineup is ready to give their all and fight for a positive result in front of their home fans.
LM – Rayan Ait-Nouri is known for his dynamic play when pushed up the field, as he excels in attack rather than defense where he can struggle at times.
CAM – Matheus Cunha remains a constant threat for the team, consistently performing well and likely to be a top scorer this season.
ST – Jorgen Strand Larsen has already scored one goal in his first three matches, a promising start for the newcomer who is expected to quickly show his true potential.
