Latest Squad Updates
The Magpies Coach Confesses Poor Display
Newcastle were dreadful in their previous match against the Hammers, according to Eddie Howe just admitted in his pre-match comments. “We must deliver a performance different. That day with West Ham proved painful for the team. We trust, we have learned a lot. At this point we need to start earning points.”
Regarding Anthony Gordon: “He wasn’t fit enough ultimately. Medical imaging revealed a minor issue with his hip and it’s an excellent opportunity for Harvey to step up.”
Forest Still Miss Important Striker
Still no Chris Wood from the Forest lineup, as Matz Sels, the defender, Anderson and Dan Ndoye are back.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that struggled against Brighton in the previous round.

Adam Wharton returns for Crystal Palace although there will be no Marc Guéhi in the squad. Brighton select the same starting eleven that beat the Yorkshire side last week.
