Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League game between Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James' Park. Terry Connor takes charge of Wolves for the first time since being appointed manager until the end of the season.

O'Hara wriggles his way into the box but Davide Santon does superbly well to muscle him off the ball and then clear.

The possession stands at a dead even 50-50 at present.

Good stuff from Doyle as he battles for the ball and lays it off to Jarvis but the winger's return pass can't find the Ireland international.

Alan Pardew is wearing a very smart cardigan. Good effort from the Newcastle boss.

Here's an interesting Opta stat following that goal: "Wolves are the only team in the Premier League without a goal from a shot outside the box. In contrast, they have conceded the highest percentage of goals of goals from long range (27%)."

GOAL! Newcastle 2-0 Wolves! A deep cross from Simpson is headed out and Gutierrez takes one touch before slamming a rising effort into the top corner from 20 yards. Superb.

What a chance! Danny Simpson is allowed to advance to 20 yards from goal and unleashes a fierce effort that Hennessey tips over the bar. The keeper is furious with his defence.

Jonas Gutierrez puts a cross into the ox but Stephen Ward heads away for Wolves.

Newcastle fans chant "stand up for St James' Park", protesting against Mike Ashley's decision to rename the stadium of course.

Ronald Zubar breaks into the penalty area but he can't find a Wolves shirt with an attempted cross and Newcastle win a goal kick.

Kevin Foley arrives at the near post to meet a cross from Matt Jarvis but Krul manages to do just enough as Newcastle scramble the ball clear.

Stat from Opta: "Newcastle have won their last three home games in a row; they haven’t won four on the trot since October 2007."

Wolves had started pretty well on Tyneside but Berra's error has led to them being a goal down early on. For a team lacking confidence that is a real setback.

That was very poor defending from Wolves and they have now gone 23 games without a clean sheet.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Wolves! Papiss Cisse scores on his full home debut! Christophe Berra makes a mistake and Newcastle exploit it to the full. Wayne Hennessey makes a fine save to deny Tiote but Cisse follows up.

Karl Henry brings down Tiote with a strong challenge. That will be a real battle in the centre of midfield.

Jamie O'Hara now hits the wall with a free-kick as Wolves continue to put the home side under pressure at St James' Park.

A chance for Wolves! Kevin Doyle bursts forward and forces Tim Krul into an excellent save. What a start that could have been for the new manager.

KICK OFF!

Wolves have a tough task on their hands today: Newcastle have only lost twice at home all season, taking 24 of an available 36 points on Tyneside. And, as Infostrada explain: " Wolves’ last top flight victory at Newcastle came on February 7, 1959 – four days after Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper all died in a plane crash in the USA." Good stat.
