Danny Guthrie hopes to keep his place in the Newcastle midfield against Wolves next week despite the return of Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote.

Danny Guthrie: "It'll be interesting to see what the manager decides to go with.

"Obviously on my current form I'd expect to be playing.

"How much football I play between now and the end of the season will possibly be a factor, but I'll get the season out of the way and I'll have an open mind at the end of the season.

"It hasn't surprised me having a run in the team.

"The main thing has been to stay fit because I've had a lot of injury problems over the past couple of years.

"I've managed to stay fit most of the season and played very well so if we're going on form I'd expect to play.

"We've already seen this season the manager has kept faith in players that have played well and hopefully he'll do the same thing with me.

"That's all any player can do - and hope.

"The manager has got choices to make, which has been a bonus for us this season, because the competition for places has been part of our recipe for success."
