Newcastle were dreadful in their previous match against West Ham, according to Eddie Howe recently stated in his pre-match interview. “We must deliver something better. That day against the London club proved difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learnt plenty. At this point we need to begin earning points.”
Regarding Anthony Gordon: “He wasn’t fit enough in the end. The scan showed a minor issue in his hip which is a good chance for Harvey to step up.”
Still no Chris Wood for Forest, while the goalkeeper, the defender, the midfielder plus Dan Ndoye return.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the struggling Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who struggled at Brighton in the previous round.
