Latest Newcastle vs Nottingham team information
Despite suffering a heavy defeat to Man City, Newcastle at least do not have any new injuries to deal with, meaning manager Eddie Howe is likely to have just three players absent for this weekend's game.
Joelinton, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are all recovering from knee injuries. Although Botman's problem is not serious, manager Howe has confirmed that the centre-back is unlikely to feature. Given Botman's injury history, Newcastle will not risk him.
Up front, despite failing to score in the last two matches, Isak is still the biggest hope as he has scored in all three previous encounters with Nottingham Forest.
As for Nottingham Forest, the visitors welcome back Callum Hudson-Odoi, who came off the bench in the defeat to Fulham. The former Chelsea man’s presence could prompt Nuno Espírito Santo to revert to his usual 4-2-3-1 formation, rather than using three centre-backs. This could see Morato make way for Hudson-Odoi, who will join Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White in attack.
Nottingham Forest have just two injuries: Taiwo Awoniyi (nose injury) and goalkeeper Carlos Miguel (hamstring). However, their number one goalkeeper, Matz Sels, is still leading the race for the Premier League Golden Glove with 10 clean sheets.
Latest Newcastle vs Nottingham predicted lineup
Newcastle United:
Dubravka; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Longstaff; Murphy, Isak, Gordon
Nottingham Forest:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Danilo, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Latest Newcastle vs Nottingham football review
Newcastle's busy schedule with crucial EFL Cup fixtures, where they are through to the final against Liverpool, and extensive FA Cup involvement appear to be affecting their Premier League form, with three defeats in their last four games.
Eddie Howe’s side’s only win of the campaign came against Southampton, who are struggling at the bottom of the table, while City followed in the footsteps of Bournemouth and Fulham to deal a further blow to Newcastle’s top-four ambitions.
The heavy 0-4 defeat to Man City not only put the "Magpies" at a huge disadvantage in the race for a ticket to the Champions League next season, but also put them at risk of suffering three consecutive home defeats in the Premier League for the first time since Steve Bruce. This worst-case scenario has not happened since February 2021.
However, a win over Nottingham Forest would revive Newcastle's hopes of closing the gap on the Champions League places, but they will need to be cautious as Forest have won their last two meetings with Newcastle, including an impressive 3-1 win at St James' Park on Boxing Day 2023.
On the away side, Nottingham Forest also suffered a similar fate to Newcastle when they just suffered a defeat against Fulham. Chris Wood's 18th goal of the Premier League season was still not enough to help Forest avoid a 1-2 defeat.
That defeat left Forest with a second successive away defeat, following their 5-0 thrashing at Bournemouth. Despite this, they remain third, and are firmly in the top four after this round.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo has not suffered three consecutive away defeats since taking over at Forest. In fact, the Tricky Trees have not suffered three consecutive away defeats since Steve Cooper in December 2023.
However, Newcastle have somewhat redeemed themselves in this confrontation with a 3-1 victory right at Forest's City Ground in November 2024. Can the "Magpies" reclaim the debt they owed at home last season, or will Nottingham Forest continue to cause them sorrow?
