Seeking to bounce back from their first Champions League defeat of the new term, Newcastle United trek to Molineux to meet Wolverhampton Wanderers in Saturday's Premier League contest.
While the Magpies went down 1-0 to Borussia Dortmund in midweek, Gary O'Neil got one over his old side Bournemouth last weekend, overseeing a 2-1 win at his former home.
O'Neil gladly piled more misery on a winless Bournemouth last weekend, as after going 1-0 down by virtue of a neat Dominic Solanke flick, Wolves levelled early in the second half through Matheus Cunha's crisp effort before Sasa Kalajdzic's 88th-minute winner sparked elation in the away end.
A foolish red card to Lewis Cook did not help matters for Bournemouth - a penny for Bill Foley's thoughts as the man whose departure he sanctioned came up trumps on the South Coast - and O'Neil's crop now head into Saturday's clash unbeaten in three successive matches.
With seven points from a possible nine to show from contests with Manchester City, Aston Villa and Bournemouth, Wolves are happily in mid-table obscurity in 12th place, a comfortable seven points clear of the relegation zone and only one adrift of 10th-placed Chelsea.
