Newcastle were horrible in their previous match versus West Ham, as Eddie Howe recently stated in his pre-match comments. “We have to deliver a performance better. That day against West Ham was painful for us. We trust, we have learnt a lot. At this point we have to begin earning points.”
On Anthony Gordon: “He wasn’t close in the end. The scan showed a minor issue in his hip which is a good opportunity for Harvey Barnes to step up.”
Nottingham Forest Continue to Be Without Important Striker
Still no the experienced striker for Forest, while Matz Sels, Murillo, Anderson plus the attacker are back.
The German forward comes in for the struggling Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that had difficulties against Brighton in the previous round.
