Wolves
Wolves managed to triumph at the Vitality without the services of two suspended regulars in Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo, both of whom will return to the squad on Saturday to give O'Neil the best kind of selection dilemma.
Semedo will expect to come straight back into the XI for Matt Doherty, while Lemina may very well displace Joao Gomes, who only lasted 45 minutes of their win over Bournemouth last weekend before being withdrawn during the break for tactical reasons.
Only Hugo Bueno (hamstring) and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (muscle) are in the Molineux treatment room at present, and despite coming off the bench to good effect down south, Kalajdzic will likely continue his super sub duties as Cunha joins Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan in the final third.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Kilman, Dawson, Toti; Semedo, Traore, Lemina, Ait-Nouri; Neto, Cunha, Hwang
Newcastle
Meanwhile, injury was added to insult on two occasions for Newcastle on Tuesday, as Isak was withdrawn inside the opening 15 minutes with a groin complaint, before substitute Jacob Murphy had to come off only five minutes after his introduction with a suspected shoulder dislocation.
Neither man should make the matchday squad at Molineux, where Harvey Barnes (foot) and Sven Botman (knee) will also be unavailable, but Joe Willock was at least able to enjoy a 20-minute run-out against Dortmund following his recent fitness woes.
A recall for Callum Wilson is in order as Isak re-enters the treatment room, while Sandro Tonali's 10-month ban for illegal betting is expected to be confirmed imminently, but the Italy international remains available for selection at the time of writing.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Burn; Joelinton, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Almiron, Wilson, Gordon
Prediction: Wolverhampton WanPredictiderers 1-1 Newcastle United
