The departure of manager Rafa Benitez is still being felt on Tyneside and their chase of Sheffield Wednesday boss Steve Bruce is still rumbling on.

Newcastle arrive in China desperate for something to boast about yet they face a tricky challenge in Wolves here.

Wolves were perhaps the surprise package of the last Premier League season and expectations on them kicking on this term are high.

Boss Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping his side put in an attacking performance in Nanjing to lay down a marker for the new season.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

It’s hard to predict what will happen to Newcastle this season after they effectively lost their most important man in the dressing room - Benitez.

Without the Spaniard in charge, the Toon are set for a rocky campaign and owner Mike Ashley will be desperate to get a new man in place as soon as possible.

Newcastle are out of sorts and will face a Wolves side that are ready to improve on their seventh-place finish last term.

Wolves are expected to add more players to their squad before the summer is out and manager Nuno will hope his Hornets swarm their opponents on Wednesday.
