**Eddie Howe has a couple of concerns heading into the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, so we're expecting a different look for Newcastle United.**
Wolves are the visitors on Saturday in a 3 pm non-televised kick-off at St James' Park, and as Eddie Howe confirmed on Friday in his press conference, Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey will both be absent through injury.
Joelinton is back to fitness, however, and will replace Ramsey with no problem. Meanwhile, Bruno Guimaraes is recovering after a tricky week playing in the mountains of Bolivia and with Barcelona up on Thursday, we think he'll sit this one out to make sure he's ready for that challenge.
We also expect Tino Livramento will be rested to make sure he's ready for Thursday. Tino played in both games for England, also Lewis Hall is back to fitness now and just needs match sharpness. Saturday seems like a good game for him to get 90 minutes under his belt.
Howe we think Newcastle United will line up on Saturday
### Goalkeeper
**Nick Pope** - We want to see what Aaron Ramsdale can do, but Pope is Eddie Howe's Number 1.
### Defenders
**Kieran Trippier** **(c)** - To be honest, this could go either way with Tino and Tripps, but the latter is fresher due to his international retirement.
**Fabian Schar** - We still think Malick Thiaw is going to be made to wait for his full debut.
**Dan Burn** - Sven Botman also needs to earn the right to start ahead of Burninho.
**Lewis Hall** - Needs minutes to get his fitness up, and the game against Wolves is ideal, which gives either Tino or Tripps a chance to rest ahead of Barcelona.
### Midfielders
**Joe Willock** - If we were picking the side, it would be Lewis Miley replacing Bruno Guimaraes, who we think will rest for this one, but we suspect Howe will go with Willock.
**Sandro Tonali** - Tonali bagged the winner for Italy in midweek and will be fired up to continue his form for his club.
**Joelinton** - Missed the last game after picking up a knock, but is ready to go again, which is just as well, as Jacob Ramsey is out for a month.
### Forwards
**Anthony Elanga** - A goal for his country during the international break won't have done his confidence any harm.
**Nick Woltemade** - A debut for the new record signing. Probably earlier than anyone was expecting, but with Yoane Wissa injured, the big man gets to step up.
**Harvey Barnes** - Anthony Gordon is serving the second game of his three-match ban, so Barnes continues down the left.
We'd say we're about 60% confident in this lineup's accuracy. Eddie Howe obviously has a lot more information on how the likes of Tino Livramento and Bruno Guimaraes are feeling and how much he feels he needs to keep certain players fresh for Thursday.
There's every chance that Bruno plays and Howe may not feel Hall is ready to play a full game yet either. We'll have to wait and see.
