“Shock Snub for ‘Highly-Rated’ Star as Howe Makes Bold Call – Newcastle United’s Predicted XI vs Forest Revealed
Newcastle United will aim for back-to-back Premier League victories when they travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest this Saturday.
The Magpies secured a vital 1-0 win over Arsenal at St James’ Park last weekend, putting an end to their recent poor form in the league. Alexander Isak netted the only goal of the game, with Anthony Gordon providing the assist.
Now, Newcastle will look to build on that performance and claim another three points against Forest. However, that will be a tough task, as Nottingham Forest are currently on a strong run, having won three consecutive matches.
While Roy Keane has predicted a draw between the two sides, David Moyes believes Newcastle will come out on top at the City Ground.
Predicted Newcastle United XI vs Nottingham Forest
Nick Pope put in an impressive display against Arsenal and is expected to retain his place in goal for Saturday’s away match.
In defense, Eddie Howe is likely to keep the same backline that played in the previous match, with Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, and Lewis Hall all set to start.
The absence of Sandro Tonali from the starting lineup has raised some questions, but Howe is expected to stick with the midfield trio of Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joe Willock, who all performed well against Arsenal. Tonali was introduced as a substitute in that game and may again feature from the bench.
In attack, there’s no reason for Howe to make changes after Isak scored the winning goal in the last match, while Gordon and Joelinton also delivered strong performances.
Predicted Newcastle United XI: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Bruno, Willock; Gordon, Isak, Joelinton.
