Nottingham Forest will endeavour to make it four Premier League wins in succession when they face Newcastle United at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.
The Tricky Trees have made a tremendous start to the season, losing just one of their opening 10 top-flight contests of the campaign.
Last time out, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side made it three wins on the spin by sweeping aside West Ham 3-0, helping our man Kevin Mac cash in along the way.
That Triumph means Forest head into their latest home game with Newcastle surveying the standings from the lofty heights of third place.
As for the Magpies, they will also be feeling good about themselves ahead of this fixture following last weekend’s hard-fought 1-0 win over Arsenal, in a game that brought up one of my St James’ Park selections.
While Eddie Howe’s side are currently occupying eleventh place in the table, another victory on Sunday afternoon could potentially catapult them into the top-six.
How the bookies view it: Toon to put out Forest fire
Despite currently being in the midst of a three-match winning run, Betano make Nottingham Forest marginal 17/10 outsiders for top honours.
Newcastle, who have won just one of their five Premier League road trips this season, are narrow 6/4 (Betano) favourites, while a share of the City Ground spoils is trading at 23/10 (Betano).
Head to head: Toon Army tend to triumph
Newcastle knocked Nottingham Forest out of the EFL Cup on penalties at the City Ground back in September. The Magpies have also emerged victorious from each of their previous two Premier League visits to this venue.
Players to watch: Wood to fire for Forest?
Only Erling Haaland (11) has scored more Premier League goals than Chris Wood (8) this season. Thus, the in-form Forest forward holds plenty of appeal to either score or assist on Sunday at 17/10 on PaddyPower.
Alexander Isak has rediscovered his shooting boots in recent weeks, having scored in each of his last three appearances for Newcastle. The Swedish striker is 15/8 on Bet 365 for an anytime strike on Sunday.
Predicted line-ups
Nottingham Forest will be boosted by the return of James Ward-Prowse, who was prohibited from playing against parent club West Ham last weekend.
Jacob Murphy is hoping to be fit in time to feature for Newcastle on Sunday, but Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman all remain sidelined.
Nottingham Forest: Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Moreno; Yates, Ward-Prowse; Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Elanga; Wood
Newcastle: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Gordon, Isak, Joelinton
Anything else catch the eye?
Look to Newcastle’s Lewis Hall to commit a minimum of one foul on Sunday afternoon at 5/6 on Bet 365.
While the Magpies left-back is not a frequent offender, he has fallen foul of the referee in three of his last four Premier League appearances.
In direct opposition to Hall is likely to be electric Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, who has drawn a minimum of one foul from the opposition in eight of his 10 Premier League outings this season so far.
