Newcastle boss Howe: Lopetegui has had big impact at Wolves

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says there'll be no underestimating Wolves.

Wolves visit St James' Park on Sunday.

Howe said, "Two big games [against Wolves and Nottingham Forest] because of where they are situated.

"We have the international break afterwards and we want to go into that break really good.

"We want to feel good going into that. We're also running out of games.

"They are going to go so quickly, 14 left. We need points and we are determined to end this run of games we have had in a confident way."

On Wolves, he added: "New manager [Julen Lopetegu] has had a really big impact on their team.

"I've watched them closely this week. They have some very good players. I think the manager has come in and given them confidence and now they look like they are back to the Wolves we have seen in previous seasons."
