Would-be European competitors clash at the City Ground on Sunday when red-hot Nottingham Forest host uneven Newcastle United (Watch live at 9am ET, streaming online via Premier League on Peacock).
Forest have three wins and a draw in their last four matches, and have only lost once this Premier League season. That’s pushed them to third on the table, as close to first as 12th and firmly establishing Nuno Espirito Santo as a Manager of the Year candidate.

Newcastle have been an enigma this season, capable of beating Arsenal — like they did last in Week 10 — and drawing Manchester City but also falling to Fulham and drawing Everton.
Alexander Isak is finding his form for the Magpies, who could use a good result away from home. Newcastle are 1-2-2 away from St. James’ Park this season.

OUT: Danilo (ankle), Ibrahim Sangare (undisclosed)
Newcastle team news, focus
Isak and Gordon make the attack go, and the Magpies often need them because their midfield is missing a true No. 6. Which two of Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, Joelinton, and Sandro Tonali will play with Bruno Guimaraes?
OUT: Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Kieran Trippier (hamstring), Callum Wilson (back) | QUESTIONABLE: Jacob Murphy (thigh)
