- 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.
Strange as it seems Eddie Howes job could be under threat from the Arabs due to the recent poor form.
bts, over 2.5, most likely hw
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
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.
btts
Home win

0-1 Elanga
@watfordAlbert Elanga did get two assists. New manager bounce combined with Newcastle's terrible Boxing Day jinx maybe.
Newcastle Win.
@Marbella Ur predictions these days are becoming terrible
