Nottingham Forest Vs Newcastle United Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, November 10

It promises to be a captivating showdown in the English Premier League when the elated Nottingham Forest hosts Newcastle United at City Ground on Sunday for the 2024/25 Premier League season’s game week 11 match-up.

The Reds are prospering under their Portuguese gaffer Nuno Espírito Santo, who has led them to an impressive third-place standing on the points table. This term, they have earned 19 league points in 10 games, recording 5 wins, 4 draws and a single defeat, subsequently placing them in the top three alongside Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.

Meanwhile, the Magpies have grappled with inconsistency with a series of draws and setbacks with 3 losses so far. Eddie Howe’s side is gradually starting to get back to consistent winning ways. The visitors are sitting in the 11th position in the Premier League table recording 15 points, with 4 wins and 3 draws and suffered as many defeats in a total of 10 matches in the 2024/25 league campaign.

Forest added a third successive Premier League win following a 3-0 triumph over West Ham United last weekend and extended their sensational streak with 3 victories in the last 5 games. On the other hand, Newcastle have also picked up promising form following the EFL win against Chelsea and a narrow yet remarkable 1-0 success over Arsenal in the previous outing.

Nottingham Forest Team News

Nottingham Forest midfielder, James Ward-Prowse should return after missing the West Ham game, but Ibrahim Sangare is ruled out until the International break with a hamstring injury alongside Danilo who has suffered an ankle injury and will be on the sidelines until the next year. The hosts have no further injury concerns in the team.

Newcastle United Team News

For Eddie Howe’s there a few injury problems in the squad, including long-term absentees such as Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman. In contrast, Kieren Trippier could make his return ahead of the trip to Forest and Jacob Murphy who picked up a minor hamstring injury might fancy his return as well for the important clash.

Key Players to Watch in Nottingham Forest Vs Newcastle United

Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)

Nottingham Forest number nine, Chris Wood won PFA Premier League Fans’ Player of the Month for his stellar exploits in October. The striker is playing a pivotal role in the club’s tremendous run, netting 8 league goals while starting all of the 10 league fixtures for the Tricky Tree. Notably, the 31-year-old New Zealand International has managed to secure his name on the scoresheet in his last four successive league outings in a row. Wood boasts a fantastic Expected goal (xG) of 0.74 per 90 minutes and averages the shot-on-target rate of 1.56 per game.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

Newcastle United’s ace forward Alexander Isak was the difference maker in their recent 1-0 triumph over Arsenal as his stunning header snatched all three points for the Magpies. The Sweden International has found the back of the net thrice in a row in the previous three outings scoring twice against Chelsea in League and EFL Cup and one goal against the Gunners at home last weekend. Hence, the 25 year old will be a significant figure for the visitors at City Ground.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Prediction

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side is walking into the fixture as favourites and their outstanding performance and excellent run in the league remain undefeated in the previous 4 matches. In contrast, Eddie Howe’s side have gained some swiftness with two positive outcomes but Forest will be their toughest test to clear that too in an away fixture. After viewing all the aspects, it should be a comfortable victory for the hosts with a 3-1 margin.

Predicted Score: Nottingham Forest 3-1 Newcastle United
