Newcastle knocked Nottingham Forest out of the Carabao Cup a mere 74 days ago, meaning the Magpies have won their last three visits to the City Ground, now seeking a fourth successive victory on the banks of the River Trent for the first time since 1922.

Will Nottingham Forest's remarkable form continue? Last weekend, the Garibaldi Reds smashed West Ham 3-0 at home, with Chris Wood continuing his scoring spree, before both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina struck with long-range strikes. Following victories over Crystal Palace and Leicester, Forest have now won three successive Premier League matches for the first time since May '99, while they're currently third, the highest they've been at any stage of any top-flight campaign since 1988. Nuno Espírito Santo's side have still only lost once this season, so will certainly come into this clash with confidence sky-high.

Newcastle United meantime, despite being all the way down in 11th, are only four points worse off than their hosts, and they too had a big victory to celebrate last Saturday. The Toon Army downed Arsenal at St James' Park, with Alexander Isak's header, powering home Anthony Gordon's inch-perfect cross, the only goal of the afternoon.

This was a crucial victory for Eddie Howe, ending a five-match winless streak in the Premier League, albeit the Magpies had also dumped Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup a few days earlier, thereby reaching the quarter-finals. Newcastle's sole away win this season came over winless Wolves in September, but they did leave the City Ground victorious following a penalty shootout earlier in the campaign, so will the Toon Army who travel down to the East Midlands have a victory to celebrate?

Forest's remarkable form is made all the more impressive by the fact their pre-season first-choice midfield duo of Danilo and Ibrahim Sangaré both remain sidelined. Nevertheless, there is still competition for places in that position, with Elliot Anderson dropping to the bench against West Ham, allowing Morgan Gibbs-White to return after suspension. James Ward-Prowse is also eligible again, having been unable to face his parent club a week ago.

Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenković, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Anderson, Gibbs-White; Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Wood.

Chris Wood continues to be on fire, bagging his eighth of the campaign last time out. The Kiwi, of course, joined Forest from Newcastle and has five career goals against the Magpies, including a hat-trick on Tyneside last Boxing Day,

With Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett sidelined, Eddie Howe will continue to deploy an unchanged back four. Joe Willock was drafted into midfield against his former club, with Joelinton shunted out-wide a week ago, but Sandro Tonali is likely to start this time, at the venue he made his long-awaited comeback in August, while Harvey Barnes is set to return out-wide. Both Dan Burn and the aforementioned Joelinton would sit out the clash with West Ham later this month if booked by referee Anthony Taylor.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest: (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Barnes, Gordon, Isak.

Anthony Gordon has two goals to his name this season, both coming in 1-1 draws, seeking to score against Forest for the very first time, with this set to be his fifth attempt to do so.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Prediction

We are backing Nottingham Forest to make home advantage count. The Reds continue to be ultra-impressive, while Newcastle's away form is, at best, patchy, hence why a home win appears to be the most-likely outcome: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Newcastle United.
