- Jamaal Lascelles was forced off in the first half of Newcastle's 1-0 loss at Luton and should be replaced by Sven Botman at the back.
- Lewis Miley also came off in the first half, though that was a tactical decision by Eddie Howe and the teenager will be fine here.
- Joelinton faces a late fitness test but Howe remains without seven players due to injury.
- Nuno Espirito Santo will be forced into at least one change with Willy-Arnaud Boly suspended following his contentious red card against Bournemouth.
- Taiwo Awoniyi is sidelined due to injury while Ibrahim Sangare, Serge Aurier and Felipe will be assessed.
Forest won thanks to Wood.
Newcastle's Boxing day record is atrocious. I think this result means they've lost 16 from the last 25.
That score prediction is ‘king hilarious.
Amanda Staveley said Newcastle must finish in the top 4 this season but they have no chance based on recent form and league position.
Newcastles next 3 games are Liverpool , Man City and Villa.
@Marbella yep L L and L
Strange as it seems Eddie Howes job could be under threat from the Arabs due to the recent poor form.
Not only was that not a Penalty but Isak should have been booked for simulation. I have no dog in this fight. VAR continues to be an existential threat to football.
Newcastle Win.
@Marbella Ur predictions these days are becoming terrible
btts
Home win
bts, over 2.5, most likely hw
Home win
0-1 Elanga
@watfordAlbert Elanga did get two assists. New manager bounce combined with Newcastle's terrible Boxing Day jinx maybe.
