The Tyneside club were dreadful in their previous match versus West Ham, according to Eddie Howe recently admitted in his pre-match comments. “We have to deliver something better. That day with West Ham proved painful for the team. Hopefully, we’ve learnt a lot. Now we have to start earning results.”
On the winger: “He was not fit enough in the end. The scan revealed a very slight problem with his hip and it’s an excellent opportunity for Harvey Barnes to come in.”
Again missing the experienced striker for Forest, while the goalkeeper, Murillo, the midfielder plus Dan Ndoye are back.
Lukas Nmecha comes in for the struggling the Everton loanee, who struggled at Brighton last week.
