Newcastle United host Nottingham Forest to kick off the Premier League’s Boxing Day action.

Eddie Howe’s side, still struggling with injuries, hope to bounce back from a damaging loss to Luton, while new Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is targeting a first win in charge after being upset by Bournemouth last time out.

“Luton played well. It was always going to be a difficult game for us, a tough place to come,” said Howe after defeat at Kenilworth Road. We switched off from a corner and ultimately it cost us the game. [There are] no excuses from our side, just on the day we weren’t where we needed to be to win the game.”

There was a VAR check for handball against Niakhate. The ball did appear to strike the Forest defender on the hand, but he could not do much about it from such close range. No penalty is given.

End-to-end stuff again! After denying Elanga a clear sight on goal, Newcastle counter and Isak embarks on a jinking run into the heart of the Forest defence. His eventual shot is deflected behind for a corner.
