Alexander Isak's got a brace and Newcastle is on pace for a ninth-straight win across all competitions as Wolves continue a rough stretch of their Premier League schedule with a visit to St. James' Park on Wednesday.

Wolves continue a rough stretch of their Premier League schedule with a visit to red-hot Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Wednesday.

WATCH – Newcastle United v Wolves

Below you’ll find lineups, live updates, video highlights, and more.

Kick off time: 2:30pm ET WednesdayVenue: St. James’ Park — Newcastle upon TyneTV Channel: PeacockStreaming: Premier League on Peacock

Alexander Isak 34', 57', Anthony Gordon 74'

Joelinton comes off in the 83rd minute for Lewis Miley, who scored in the FA Cup at the weekend.

Chaos in the Newcastle box and Hugo Bueno pokes in a corner kick.

But he settled it with his hand, and VAR has taken the goal off the board.

A long offside review here as Alexander Isak looked to have perfectly-timed his run before setting up Gordon for a goal.

It was very close, but he did. Goodnight.

Miguel Almiron, Joe Willock, and William Osula all come on, with Gordon, Isak, and Murphy exiting the fray.

Nelson Semedo and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde enter for Rodrigo Gomes and Goncalo Guedes.

Tino Livramento’s throw-in from the right corner is to Sandro Tonali, who finds midfield mate Bruno Guimaraes a few yards outside the box.

Guimaraes has been red-hot and so is the target of his seeing-eye pass, Isak, who belts home for 2-0 from near the penalty spot.

There’s some threat from Wolves especially with Cunha on the pitch but Newcastle have increased their hold on the game.

It’s a good one, as Matheus Cunha returns to the field.

Hee-chan Hwang dips out at the break.

Both Joelinton and Sandro Tonali nearly score in the final few minutes of the half, and Vitor Pereira should be thrilled to get to the team room down only one goal even considering Strand Larsen’s miss.

Newcastle dominating the ball and out-attempting the visitors 9-3. It’s a master-class in chance creation, as Lewis Hall, Bruno Guimaraes, and Sandro Tonali have combined to send 22 passes into the Wolves final third.

Wolves’ entire team have combined for 16.

Wolves break the other way and Lewis Hall slips tracking Goncalo Guedes.

The Portuguese gets to the touch line and cuts it back low for Strand Larsen, who snaps the ball across goal and wide of the far post.

Isak drives across the top of the box and hits an offspeed shot across his body, rooting Sa to watch the ball slide inside the far post.

The Swede is on a new plane with his 14th Premier League goal of the season. Only Mo Salah and Erling Haaland have more.

Isak strikes Newcastle in front of Wolves

Alexander Isak scores in his eighth consecutive Premier League fixture thanks to a big deflection to make it 1-0 for Newcastle against Wolves at St. James' Park.

Emmanuel Agbadou has been very good at left center back in the first half-hour.

Bruno Guimaraes sends an incisive ball through the back line to an onrushing Alexander Isak.

The Swede has only a half-yard of space and drags his low shot off the outside of the side netting.

Newcastle’s had 60% of the ball and Wolves are staying tight in a 5-4-1 with center forward Strand Larsen rarely straying far from the pack.

Murphy drives at Rayan Ait-Nouri and uses the defender as a screen to test Sa again.

The goalkeeper passes, pushing the ball wide of the post. Alexander Isak finds it but can’t get a shot on target.

Moments later, Gordon is blocked by a sliding defender and Wolves go on the counter.

Dan Burn does well to stop Goncalo Guedes long dribble down the right.

Gordon already has a pair of nutmegged defenders on his balance sheet this Wednesday, but the Everton export has also held onto the ball a moment too long on both occasions.

In any event, the in-form winger looks very ready for the afternoon at St. James’ Park.

Wolves started well but it’s Newcastle that first tempts the scoreboard.

Jacob Murphy acts on a mishit pass and curls a hard, low, left-footed effort toward the far post.

Jose Sa is a fine shot-stopper, however, and he gets perpendicular to stop the ball from reaching the goal line.

Dubravka, Hall, Botman, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Gordon, Murphy, Isak

Sa, R. Gomes, Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou, Ait-Nouri, J. Gomes, Andre, Guedes, Strand Larsen, Hwang

Vitor Pereira’s visitors beat Man United to start a brutal eight-match run of fixtures, then drew Spurs before falling 3-0 to Nottingham Forest. After Wednesday’s trip to Newcastle, they’ll get Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Liverpool.

Perhaps they’ll view this match as their best chance at three points and hope of staying above the bottom three; Wolves’ 16 points are safe by the slimmest of margins — a single goal of differential — entering Week 21.

Newcastle head into the matchweek just a point outside of the top four. Eddie Howe’s Magpies have won eight-straight across all competitions, a five-match winning run in the Premier League joined by League Cup defeats of Brentford and Arsenal as well as a weekend FA Cup win over Bromley.

The Magpies have some injury concerns of note, though, and will surely be wary of Wolves.

OUT: Nick Pope (knee), Emil Krafth (shoulder), Callum Wilson (thigh), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) | QUESTIONABLE: Alexander Isak (thigh), Sven Botman (groin), Joe Willock (knock)

OUT: Toti Gomes (hamstring), Yerson Mosquera (knee), Boubacar Traore (knee), Enso Medina (knee), Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Nelson Semedo (thigh), Craig Dawson (calf) | QUESTIONABLE: Mario Lemina (illness)

Newcastle hope to have Alexander Isak available but will not risk him if his thigh injury is anything but set for battle. Anthony Gordon has also been strong for the Magpies, who will be a handful for Wolves’ defense. The venue is a character in this play, too, as Newcastle have been strong at SJP. Newcastle 2-0 Wolves.
