Newcastle United return to St. James’ Park on Sunday, aiming to translate their impressive midweek European performance into their domestic campaign.
After a slow start to the league season, a comprehensive Champions League victory will have provided a much-needed morale boost for Eddie Howe’s side ahead of this crucial fixture.
The visit of a struggling Nottingham Forest side provides the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways in the league. Furthermore, Newcastle have a dominant home record against the Tricky Trees, having won eight of the last nine meetings between the clubs. The home fans will be expecting a similar result to kickstart their season.
Newcastle United team news
Eddie Howe’s main selection issue is a new injury to Tino Livramento, who is out for eight weeks with a knee ligament problem. While Lewis Hall is back in the squad, Dan Burn will likely continue at left-back. The manager is expected to stick with the settled midfield trio of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton.
