Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United — Predicted lineup and team news
· Yahoo Sports
Nottingham Forest return to the City Ground on Sunday looking to bounce back from their Europa League semi-final exit when they face Newcastle United.
The Tricky Trees saw their continental ambitions ended by a heavy defeat at Villa Park, but their domestic form remains exceptionally strong. Vítor Pereira’s men are currently on a seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League and have been scoring at a rate not seen at the club since the early 1990s.

A victory this weekend could potentially secure Forest’s top-flight safety depending on results elsewhere. They currently hold a six-point lead over West Ham United and a five-point advantage over Tottenham. Despite their historical struggles against Newcastle, the hosts will look to exploit their current momentum to finish a challenging month on a high note.
Nottingham Forest team news
Vítor Pereira manages a squad that was largely unavailable for the midweek European fixture. Morgan Gibbs-White, who has been involved in nine goals in his last eight league appearances, is recovering from a facial injury. He made the bench on Thursday, but his availability to start against Newcastle remains unclear.
Murillo and Ibrahim Sangaré were also unused substitutes in midweek as they manage muscle and unspecified issues. Luca Netz and Taiwo Awoniyi are expected to retain their starting places as a result. Ola Aina remains a major doubt after being forced off in the first leg against Aston Villa. Callum Hudson-Odoi, John Victor and Willy Boly also remain out.
Gibbs-White’s potential absence would be a significant blow. He recently became the first Nottingham Forest player to record both 30 goals and 30 assists in the Premier League — a milestone that underlines his importance to Pereira’s system.
