Ange Postecoglou is aiming to emulate predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo, by picking up his first Premier League win as Forest boss at St James’ Park.
However, Nuno’s victory came in his second game in charge, just six days after he was appointed in December 2023.
Postecoglou’s reign hasn’t started that well, with the former Tottenham boss losing four of his first six in charge. He was taunted by his own supporters during Thursday’s 3-2 home defeat to Midtjylland in the Europa League, but can he change the tune of the away supporters in this visit to the North East?

Tonali has recorded an assist in each of his previous two games for Newcastle and he leads the club in expected assists in the Premier League this term.
The Italian is also first for the Magpies in progressive passes and carries, so expect him to play a key role at both ends of the pitch against a Forest side who will pour forward, leaving gaps to exploit at the back.
Eleven of the previous 12 meetings between these two sides have finished with both teams finding the back of the net.
Since Forest’s return to the Premier League in 2022, Newcastle have won five of the six meetings between the sides.
