Only minutes until kick-off in four crucial Premier League fixtures, every one beginning with remembrance ceremonies.
The Tyneside club were dreadful last week versus West Ham, as Eddie Howe just stated in his before the game interview. “We must deliver something different. The match with West Ham proved difficult for us. Hopefully, we have learnt a lot. At this point we need to start earning points.”
Regarding the winger: “He was not close in the end. Medical imaging showed a very slight problem with his hip which is an excellent chance for Harvey Barnes to step up.”
Still no Chris Wood for Forest, as the goalkeeper, Murillo, Anderson and Dan Ndoye return.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that struggled at Brighton last week.
The young midfielder returns for Crystal Palace although there will be an absence of Marc Guéhi in the squad. The Seagulls field the same starting eleven that beat the Yorkshire side last week.
The Palace manager says that Guéhi “has a bone bruise, he’s on support and is unable to even move freely. At the moment it appears he will not play with the national team next week either.”
Anthony Gordon is carrying a fitness issue so misses out from the Newcastle team, the replacement, that has performed well, steps into the lineup.
One change for Brentford, Aaron Hickey comes in.
