Wolves team news vs Newcastle as Mario Lemina and Nelson Semedo decision made
Wolves news from BirminghamLive as Gary O'Neil makes two changes to the Wanderers squad to face Newcastle
Wolves head coach Gary O'Neil has named his starting XI for this afternoon's Premier League clash with Newcastle United at Molineux.
O'Neil has made two changes from the side that defeated AFC Bournemouth last time out with Nelson Semedo and Mario Lemina returning to the starting XI after missing the trip to the Vitality Stadium due to suspension.
Semedo restores his place at right-back meaning Matt Doherty drops down to bench while Lemina is named back in the Wanderers' midfield in place of Joao Gomes. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde misses out altogether due to a muscle injury.

From front to back. Jose Sa starts in goal once again with a back five made up of Semedo, Max Kilman, Craig Dawson, Toti Gomes and Raya Ait-Nouri. Lemina is joined in midfield by Boubacar Traore with Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan supporting Matheus Cunha in attack.
On the bench, O'Neil will have an array of options to look to should he need. Last week's matchwinner Sasa Kalajdzic is joined by Doherty, Dan Bentley, Santiago Bueno, Joao Gomes, Fabio Silva, Jonny, Tommy Doyle and Pablo Sarabia.
