Nick Pope returns to the Newcastle line on Sunday for a big game against Nottingham Forest.
Newcastle lost only one of his 13 Premier League matches against Forest, but that happened last season-a former Newcastle striker Chris Wood scored a hat-trick.
Forest would go with the victory within three points of runner -up arsenal.
Here’s how the sides are set.
