Nuno Espirito Santo's team beat Newcastle 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this month thanks to Matt Doherty's injury-time time.

The rematch with Rafa Benitez's Magpies, as with that game, will take place on Sky Sports.

It has been moved from Saturday February 9 to Monday February 11 at 8pm.

That's the only Wolves match selected to TV coverage in February, as part of the latest batch of televised fixtures announced today.

But it does mean that up to the end of February, 15 of Wolves' first 31 league and cup matches of the campaign have been directly or indirectly moved due to television coverage or European competition.

Matches against Manchester City (h), Burnley (h), Spurs (h), Huddersfield (h) Cardiff (a) and Newcastle (a) have been shown on TV, with the upcoming games versus Liverpool (h), Fulham (a), Manchester City (a) and Leicester (h) scheduled for live coverage, as well as the FA Cup third round clash with Liverpool which will be shown on BBC One.

Furthermore, matches versus Arsenal (a) and Chelsea (h) were switched to Wolves' opponents having their previous game moved because of either the Europa League or a televised move. That's also the case with the home game against Crystal Palace which instead of New Year's Day now takes place on January 2.
