Stars set to return for Newcastle

Newcastle boss Chris Hughton will turn to his big guns once again as he looks for a second successive Barclays Premier League victory at Wolves.

Hughton rested the entire starting XI from last Sunday’s 6-0 demolition of Aston Villa for the Carling Cup trip to Accrington Stanley in midweek, but is likely to restore them all for the game at Molineux.

Xisco (groin) and Danny Guthrie (knee) will miss out and Sol Campbell is still working his way towards match fitness, while Danny Simpson, Leon Best (both ankle), Steven Taylor (shoulder) and Dan Gosling (knee) remain on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: Harper, Krul, Perch, R Taylor, Enrique, Coloccini, Williamson, Barton, Smith, Gutierrez, Routledge, Tavernier, Nolan, Carroll, Lovenkrands, Ameobi, Ranger, Vuckic, Donaldson, Ferguson, Kadar, LuaLua.
