Latest Newcastle vs Nottingham team information
Despite suffering a heavy defeat against Man City, Newcastle at least do not have any new injuries to deal with, meaning manager Eddie Howe is likely to have just three absentees for this weekend's game.
Joelinton, Jamaal Lascelles, and Sven Botman are all recovering from knee injuries. While Botman's problem is not serious, 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.
For Nottingham Forest, the visitors welcome back Callum Hudson-Odoi, who came off the bench in the defeat to Fulham. The former Chelsea player's presence could prompt manager Nuno Espírito Santo to revert to his usual 4-2-3-1 formation, rather than using three centre-backs. This could see Morato give way to Hudson-Odoi, who will join Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White up front.
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 expected lineup Newcastle vs Nottingham
Newcastle United:

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 reached the final against Liverpool, and extensive FA Cup involvement seems 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 have followed in the footsteps of Bournemouth and Fulham in dealing another 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 Champions League ticket 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 defeat to Newcastle when they were defeated by 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, but 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 somewhat redeemed themselves in this confrontation with a 3-1 victory 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?
