Nottingham Forest will take on Newcastle United in the Premier League at the City Ground on Saturday. The hosts need wins in the bag to climb up from 16th place in the standings whereas Newcastle are looking to find their feet again to get into one of the European spots from ninth place after 23 rounds.
Nottingham have registered two defeats and a stalemate in their first three matches of 2024. They will be hoping for an upset to please the home crowd and get their first league win since the 2-1 win over Manchester United at home on December 30, 2023.
For a side looking to claim one of the European spots, Newcastle have had two back-to-back poor months in terms of results. They recently held Luton to a 4-4 draw and grabbed a point after coming back from a stage where they were 4-2 down. They should draw confidence from that performance to string a few wins together in the months to come. Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
