Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest lock horns in the Premier League on Sunday in a vital match for both sides. Eddie Howe's team rebounded impressively from last weekend's last-gasp defeat to Arsenal by securing a resounding 4-0 victory against Belgium's Union SG in the Champions League .

The Magpies now need to build momentum in the league after a disappointing start, which has yielded just one win in their first six matches. The game will see the return of Elliot Anderson to St James' Park after Newcastle reluctantly sold the midfield ace to Forest in 2024 to comply with PSR regulations.

Ahead of the match, Howe confessed that parting ways with Anderson, now an England international, was difficult and expressed his desire to bring the 22-year-old back to the club.

Another reunion is on the cards as Anthony Elanga, who moved in the opposite direction this summer, comes up against his old team, where things are far from rosy.

Following the controversial sacking of the popular Nuno Espirito Santo due to a fallout with owner Evangelos Marinakis, his successor, Ange Postecoglou, is already under pressure after failing to secure a win in his first six games.

Howe has confirmed that forward Yoane Wissa's knee injury will keep him out longer than initially expected, preventing him from making his debut so far.

Full-back Tino Livramento is set to spend eight weeks out due to knee ligament damage, although this was somewhat positive news given initial fears that the England international could be sidelined for much longer. For Forest, Murrillo, Ola Aina, Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko are all sidelined.
