Newcastle United will be looking to carry their midweek European form into the Premier League on Sunday when they host a struggling Nottingham Forest side at St. James’ Park.

Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

Newcastle United

Eddie Howe has a new major injury concern, with full-back Tino Livramento ruled out for up to eight weeks with a knee injury. Lewis Hall returns to the squad but is likely to be on the bench. Nick Woltemade, who has scored in both home league games this season, is expected to lead the attack.

Nottingham Forest

The visitors are dealing with a defensive injury crisis, with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ola Aina, and Murillo all sidelined. Midfielder Douglas Luiz is also unavailable. Ange Postecoglou is expected to name a similar side to the one that has featured in recent weeks, with Chris Wood leading the line.

Form

Newcastle United

The Magpies have won just one of their opening six league games, their worst start under Eddie Howe. They have been particularly unlucky at home, conceding two 90th-minute winners already this season. However, a big midweek Champions League win will have boosted confidence, and they have won eight of their last nine home league games against Forest.

Nottingham Forest

Forest are in a dismal run of form, winless in their last six games across all competitions. New manager Ange Postecoglou is yet to win a league game (D1 L2). He could equal an unwanted club record for the worst start by a permanent manager if he fails to win again on Sunday.

Predicted Lineups

Newcastle United predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon.

Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Morato, Savona; Sangaré, Anderson; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Wood.
