Bruno return, midfield dilemma, full-back options - pick your Newcastle United XI to face Wolves

Eddie Howe wants to see a response from his Newcastle United side when they take on Wolves on Friday night. The Magpies have spent the week licking their wounds following Sunday's 5-1 defeat at Tottenham, but get the chance to right some of those wrongs at St James' Park.

With Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson still recovering from long-term injuries, Howe has largely the same squad available to him when United begin their first of three consecutive home games. Miguel Almiron comes back into contention after missing Spurs with illness, although Joe Willock is a potential doubt with a knee problem.

Much of the focus will be on whether Bruno Guimaraes returns to the starting line-up after being restricted to a bench role last time out. The Brazilian had only just returned from international duty ahead of Spurs, but could well be restored to the first XI against Wolves, especially if Willock misses out.

Elsewhere, Emil Krafth will be pushing to a recall at right-back, with Howe again having to decided between Allan Saint-Maximin, Ryan Fraser, Jacob Murphy and Almiron for the wide roles. But which XI should Howe send out to face Wolves? That's where you come in.
