It always feels like a big week when Newcastle United are involved, but this one could be huge for the Magpies’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. With all the cup celebrations, their league form has dropped off somewhat in the past month, and Eddie Howe’s side need to make a statement win today.
Nottingham Forest head to St James’ Park riding high in the Premier League table, but United have already beaten them twice this season – albeit once on penalties – and know the size of their task today, especially after the bruising 4-0 defeat to Manchester City. They then head to Anfield to face Liverpool on Wednesday night, so three points today will be vital.
Howe could make a few changes to his starting line-up, with Lewis Miley, Tino Livramento, Nick Pope and Sean Longstaff all contenders for a new role, while Callum Wilson and Harvey Barnes could continue their recovery from injury on the bench.
