Newcastle v Forest team news: Pope + Livramento start

23 February 2025 677 comments

avfc82

The penultimate match of Gameweek 26 sees Newcastle United play host to Nottingham Forest.

Kick-off at St James’ Park is at 14:00 GMT.

The headline team news is the recall of Nick Pope to the Newcastle starting XI.

He starts in goal for the first time since Gameweek 15, replacing Martin Dubravka, who drops to the bench.

Tino Livramento is back in for Kieran Trippier at right-back, while central midfielder Lewis Miley comes in for his first Premier League start of the season in place of Sandro Tonali.

Nottingham Forest have made two changes from last weekend’s defeat at Fulham, as Nuno Espirito Santo reverts to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Nicolas Dominguez and Callum Hudson-Odoi get promotions to the starting XI, with Morato demoted to bench duty and Danilo missing from the matchday squad.

LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Guimaraes, Willock, Miley, Murphy, Gordon, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Trippier, Tonali, Wilson, Barnes, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Longstaff

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Dominguez, Anderson, Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Wood

Subs: Hennessey, Morato, Sangare, Awoniyi, Toffolo, Moreno, Jota, Yates, Sosa

  Someone said RAN went off with a limp. I agree Double Arsenal but if Chelsea are poor over the next two that's locked for gw29

    GW31 or 32 to 33 to 34. Or BB depending on how the double line up.
    
    Then WC 35 and AM or BB then.
    
    Could be a bigger DGW 36 and DGW37 BGW37
    
    Will make up my mind when the QF lines up

      So I am guessing BB for the bigger gameweek & AM for the lesser one?

        Yeah. That's what I am thinking. Double Liverpool and if Arsenal don't double in GW33 , they could with Palace.
        
        I may have to WC 34 with a good bench
        
        There is more chance of a Palace double in GW33 than Newcastle as Ipswich can be moved to GW36 as they have to play the EFL cup as well
