Team News

Nottingham Forest
Newcastle
  • Danilo is the only player absent for Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
  • Nuno Espirito Santo should make a couple of changes here, with Taiwo Awoniyi, Willy Boly, Jota Silva and Carlos Miguel set to start.
  • Fabian Schar serves the second of a three-match ban but Sandro Tonali is available for selection, though is unlikely to start.
  • Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley, Sven Botman and Jamal Lascelles miss out.

Prediction

  • Nottingham Forest claimed a commendable 1-0 win at Southampton on Saturday afternoon to follow up their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on the opening weekend.
  • Like Forest, Newcastle have also beaten Southampton and drawn with the Cherries in their opening two games. The Magpies have won their last two trips to the City Ground.
  • Both managers are expected to rotate their respective starting XIs, which means this one could go the full distance.
