Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest Full Match Highlights Replay.
After losing more games across the last four rounds (W1, L3) than in their 12 outings prior, a wounded Newcastle United host a huge clash in the race for the top-four as they welcome Nottingham Forest, who begin the round six points above them. One must look back to January 2024 to find Newcastle’s last run of three straight defeats, so avoiding a defeat which would emulate that record and dent their top-four ambitions is key.

Also losing their last two home league games, Newcastle United face losing three successive home games for the first time since 2021 under Steve Bruce. Newcastle United did at least bounce back to defeat Arsenal 2-0 in their EFL Cup semi-final last time out here, a result which bodes well ahead of this clash as the Magpies remain unbeaten in their three league games against sides beginning this round within the top-three (W2, D1).

Following up their biggest-ever Premier League win (7-0 vs Brighton) with a 2-1 defeat at Fulham, surprise package Nottingham Forest have truly experienced the highs and lows in recent weeks. Starting strong seems to be key to their success as whilst they’ve struck first in more games than any other Premier League side (19), they’ve ultimately lost in five of the six games in which they conceded the opener.

That’s exactly what has happened in the Tricky Trees’ last two league trips, losing both while conceding seven goals. Winning 3-1 here last season, Nottingham Forest know they have the pedigree to upset the odds, although that victory was their first league success on Tyneside since 1987. Goals are often assured when Nuno Espírito Santo’s sides face Newcastle United, as all 11 of his personal H2Hs saw both teams score (W3, D5, L3).

Players to watch: Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak will hope to reignite his scoring form against an opponent he has scored against in every league H2H. Morgan Gibbs-White could prove influential for Nottingham Forest with nine goal contributions in his last 11 league games (G4, A5), although Newcastle United are in a minority of current Premier League teams he is yet to score against in league action.

Hot stat: Only Brighton have won more often than Nottingham Forest as Premier League pre-match betting outsiders this season (W5, D3, L5).
