Team news: United unchanged from Union | OneFootball

The Magpies beat Belgian Pro League leaders Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 on Wednesday evening, and Eddie Howe keeps the same XI for the Premier League clash with Forest.

That means Anthony Elanga - man of the match against Union - faces his former club for the first time since his summer move from the City Ground.

Nick Woltemade will look to make it three goals in three league starts at St. James' as Newcastle aim for a seventh victory in their last eight league meetings with Forest.

Jamaal Lascelles - among the substitutes - started his career with the Midlands club and will hope to add to his 253 appearances for Newcastle from the bench.

Newcastle United: Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon, Malick Thiaw, Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimarães (c)

Substitutes: Aaron Ramsdale, Fabian Schär, Jamaal Lascelles, Harvey Barnes, Emil Krafth, William Osula, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock, Lewis Miley
