Team news
Jamaal Lascelles is a major doubt to face his former club after he was forced off at Luton, but Joelinton could return after missing defeats to Chelsea and Luton with a hamstring issue. Sven Botman and Alexander Isak are in contention to start after coming off the bench on Saturday.
Elsewhere, the likes of Harvey Barnes, Joe Willock, Elliot Anderson, Jacob Murphy, Nick Pope, Matt Targett, Sandro Tonali and Javier Manquillo remain out.
For Forest, Willy Boly is suspended after his controversial red card on Saturday and Serge Aurier is a doubt, with Felipe, Ibrahima Sangare, Taiwo Awoniyi all ruled out, meaning we could see former Mag Chris Wood start up top.
Predicted XI: Dubravka – Trippier, Schar, Botman, Livramento– Longstaff, Bruno, Joelinton – Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest
Forest have collected just five points on the road all season, while our record on home turf has been imperious, seeing us pick up 24 points from a possible 27. We need to see a respond after a really damaging few weeks and I think we'll get one.
Isak to get back amongst the goals and Botman's return to have a big impact at the other end. HWTL!
