Predicted Lineup and Team News for Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United Match
Ange Postecoglou Under Pressure as Nottingham Forest Faces Newcastle Challenge
Nottingham Forest’s Struggles Continue Amid Fixture Against Newcastle
Ange Postecoglou is under increasing pressure as Nottingham Forest heads to Newcastle this Sunday, searching for his first win as the team’s manager. The team has experienced a rocky start, with three league games yielding just one draw and two defeats, alongside a recent loss in the Europa League. If Forest fails to secure a win at St. James’ Park, Postecoglou will match the club’s record for the worst-ever start by a permanent manager, a historic low that dates back to 1960. Their challenge is exacerbated by a poor track record, having lost eight of their last nine league visits to Tyneside.
Injury Crisis Hits Nottingham Forest’s Defense
Nottingham Forest is grappling with a significant injury crisis in their defense, with key players Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ola Aina, and Murillo all sidelined. Additionally, midfielder Douglas Luiz is unavailable, forcing Postecoglou to field a makeshift defense. Nicolò Savona is expected to continue at full-back. Chris Wood will spearhead the attack, though he has struggled to find the back of the net, recording no goals from nine attempts under Postecoglou’s leadership thus far.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup Against Newcastle
Here is the anticipated starting eleven for Nottingham Forest as they take on Newcastle:
- Goalkeeper: Sels
- Defense: Williams, Milenkovic, Morato, Savona
- Midfield: Sangaré, Anderson
- Attacking Midfield: Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye
- Forward: Wood
