Nottingham vs Newcastle Comments: City Ground fulcrum

After 3 consecutive defeats on all fronts, Newcastle regained the joy of winning the match when they just defeated Wolves with a score of 2-1. With 3 points obtained, "Chicken" has reclaimed the 5th place from Liverpool's hands. Because there are still 2 matches to be played, Newcastle are not entirely hopeful of being in the top 4.

In this round 28, Newcastle will "start" at the earliest. This can be seen as an opportunity for them to put pressure on the fourth-placed Tottenham team in the race to win tickets to the C1 Cup.

However, the recent away form did not support Eddie Howe's teachers and students to pocket 3 points. According to statistics, "Chicken" has not won away from home in the Premier League since the beginning of 2023. After 4 trips, they collected only 3 points (draw 3, lose 1).

Meanwhile, Nottingham has a reputation for being a nasty team at home. Under the guidance of coach Steve Cooper, The Reds have only lost 3 home matches since the beginning of the tournament, most recently in September 2022 against Fulham.

And not only holding Man City and Chelsea, Nottingham also beat Liverpool at City Ground. With what has been done, The Reds are capable and confident to win at least 1 point from Newcastle.

- Nottingham: Navas; Aurier, Worrall, Felipe, Lodi; Yates, Freuler, Shelvey; Johnson, Wood, Gibbs-White.
