Forest get this game under way! There's a lively atmosphere at the City Ground.
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United at the City Ground.
Forest may be winless in their last five Premier League games after last weekend's 3-1 defeat away to Tottenham, but they can rely on their home form in their quest for survival. Steve Cooper's men are unbeaten in their last nine at the City Ground, where they've picked up 20 of their 26 points this season.
Following their 2-1 win against Wolves last time out, Newcastle are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for the first time this year. The Magpies may not have won their last four away games, but they'll hope they've turned the corner after last week's late win as they fight for a Champions League place.
