Fresh from respective victories in the third round of the FA Cup, Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers resume Premier League duties at St James' Park on Wednesday evening.

Eddie Howe's team made it eight wins on the spin in all competitions with a 3-1 comeback success over Bromley at the weekend, while their upcoming visitors edged out Championship side Bristol City 2-1 down south.

However, a whopping 19 points separate the two sides in the Premier League table, as the Magpies are within touching distance of the Champions League places while Vitor Pereira's men hover just above the dreaded dotted line.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 108

Newcastle wins: 36

Draws: 30

Wolves wins: 42

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United have been squaring off in the top flight ever since the 19th century - the first-ever Division One encounter between the clubs was fought in September 1898 - and there have now been 108 competitive meetings in all tournaments.

Interestingly, it is the West Midlands side who hold the overall bragging rights with 42 wins compared to 36 triumphs for the Magpies, and another 30 encounters have ended all square.

While Wolves boast more total victories than Newcastle in this particular head-to-head, the recent history makes for more pleasant reading for those in the North East, as the Magpies are unbeaten in each of their last six Premier League meetings.

Eddie Howe's men had to do it the hard way at Molineux in September 2024, but Fabian Schar and Harvey Barnes cancelled out a Mario Lemina opener to seal a 2-1 win for Newcastle, who had previously strolled to a 3-0 win at St James' Park in the 2023-24 term.

A 2-2 Molineux stalemate in October 2023 represents the last time that Wolves avoided defeat in this fixture, but they have to go back a further 24 months for their last success, a 2-1 triumph at the same venue in October 2021 thanks to a Hwang Hee-chan double.

That Hwang-inspired victory snapped a run of four consecutive 1-1 draws between Wolves and Newcastle, who have shaken hands on a stalemate in 11 of their previous 19 Premier League contests; no other fixture to have been played at least 15 times in the competition has a higher percentage of one-pointers.

The Magpies are never short of attacking inspiration at home against Wolves, though, as they have scored in each of their previous nine Premier League meetings at St James' Park, last drawing a blank in a 2016 Championship clash.

Speaking of goals, ex-Magpies striker Jackie Milburn leads the way in this fixture's individual scoring column, bagging 11 goals against Wolves during his playing heyday; Len White (Newcastle) and Peter Broadbent (Wolves) are joint-second on the list with eight apiece.
