Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Julen Lopetegui has highlighted that he recognises Newcastle United's 'one very clear style' ahead of this weekend's clash at St. James' Park.
The Wolves bosses' message comes just a few weeks after the Carabao Cup Final following which Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admitted that Eddie Howe's side play with 'one style' meaning they were easy to counter.
However, Lopetegui has seemingly flipped the script by using it as a positive, as in his eyes, he loves the football that the Magpies have been playing so far this season.

"I think we're going to play against one of the strongest teams in the Premier League," Lopetegui said in his pre-match press conference earlier. "Not only because they have a fantastic squad, top players, very good players, good coach, very good coach.
"They play with one very clear style, a big rhythm with and without the ball. I love to watch them, I think they're one of the best teams in the Premier League and they're ready to fight for the Champions League I think.
"But in the same way, we are ready to fight, we're going to go there with ambition and thinking that we can compete with them and beat them. That's our aim for sure, but I think we're going to be playing a very hard match but also a very exciting match for us."
