Eddie Howe has confirmed that Sven Botman will almost definitely lose Sunday’s battle, while Joelinton is unlikely to present despite encouraging progress in recovery by an injury. With the Carabao Cup final on the horizon, there will be no dangers with two critical players.
Jamaal Lascelles is still missing from defense as he recovers from an ACL tear, with Fabian Schar and Dan burning possible collaboration with the former Newcastle Face and in a Chris Wood forest star.
Tino Livramento could return to the original series after Kieran Trippier fought against Manchester City last weekend.
Newcastle predicted the composition against the forest (4-2-3-1): Dubravka? Release, Schar, Burn, Hall. Guimaraes, Tonali, Will. Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
Forest We have to welcome Taiwo Awoniyi back to the crease against Newcastle. The striker suffered a broken nose and concussion against Exeter City in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but will be available, providing that he is wearing a protective face mask.
Reserve goalkeeper Carlos Miguel is the only concern about Nuno Espirito Santo after being injured against the exter. He is expected to be sidelined for the foreseen future, with Wayne Hennessey replacing him on the bench.
Wood is not the only other former Newcastle employee who returns to Tyneside, with £ 35 million summer signature Elliot Anderson likely to start at St James’ Park.
The forest was foreseen composition against Newcastle (3-5-2): cells. Morato, Milekovic, Murillo. Aina, Gibbs-White, Danilo, Anderson, Williams. Wood, elanga.
Forest had gained a reputation for their defensive record earlier this season and while they are still strong in their third, they have become increasingly porous as the campaign has worn. Against Alexander Isak and the company, keeping a 11th clean sheet in Premier League It will be a tall class.
Newcastle has produced an amazingly lethargic performance in Manchester last weekend and has moved in recent weeks after a strong festive spell. It will be the side that provides much of the energy on Saturday against a deep defense and will be sure to violate their backline at some stage – regardless of whether they can keep the wood out is another question entirely.
