Today could be the day that Nottingham Forest ensures Premier League football for another season.
Newcastle are the visitors to the City Ground, and the stakes could not be higher.
Morgan Gibbs-White is unlikely to recover from his gruesome injury sustained at Chelsea in time to play against the Magpies, and there are some decisions for Vitor Pereira to make.
Forest have to bounce back from the Europa League disappointment in midweek, and here is how he could line his team up for today’s game.
How Nottingham Forest should line up vs Newcastle
Matz Sels will return in goal after Stefan Ortega shipped four in midweek against Aston Villa.
Across the back four, Murillo could return to partner Nikola Milenkovic, with Luca Netz slotting in at left-back and Neco Williams playing as the right-back.
In midfield, it’s unlikely that Ibrahim Sangare will be fit, so Nicolas Dominguez will once again partner Elliot Anderson, who will start against his former club.
Would you be happy with this team today?
If not, what changes would you make?
Gibbs-White won’t be available, it seems so James McAtee might get a rare Premier League start as he looks to prove himself to Forest supporters.
Omari Hutchinson should start on the right flank, with Dilane Bakwa likely to play on the left for this one.
Through the middle, Taiwo Awoniyi could get the chance to start after his two goals last week, with Chris Wood and Igor Jesus both dropped to the bench.
