Thank you for visiting our live blog for the Nottingham Forest vs. Newcastle United game at the City Ground. The Magpies know that with a victory tonight, they can go into the international break in a great position after last week’s spirit-boosting victory over Wolves at St. James’ Park.
Nonetheless, Forest has a good home record, so Eddie Howe and company won’t have an easy assignment. With Alexander Isak scoring against the Wolves and Miggy Almiron scoring the game-winning goal after coming off the bench, the United head coach must once again decide who will make up his forward line.
Without a doubt, Callum Wilson will lobby for a recall, while Allan Saint-Maximin and Jacob Murphy will be hoping they have done enough to preserve their positions. Newcastle is once more without the suspended Joelinton, and despite Matt Targett’s return to fitness, it is anticipated that the back four will stay the same.
As events happen throughout the night, we’ll have all the latest updates.
