Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Newcastle United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United
The visitors keep up their pressure here, until Dominguez cuts out the danger. Hudson-Odoi looks to fuel a break and crosses from the left to try and find Elanga. It's nodded out, before the next phase sees Yates shoot from the right byline and Pope is forced into a low save at his near post. Corner.

Newcastle look threatening on the left. Willock is tricky in the pockets and fashions some space on the left of the box before crossing to the back post for Gordon. The former Everton man can only lash his effort high over the bar from the angle on the right byline.

And what about Forest's goals? Well, we wrote of Woods' influence so far this term. He has scored in his last four Premier League games. It’s his third such run in the competition (also September 2020 and April 2024) but he’s never scored in five in a row before. Can he do it today?
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United
Possession is changing hands quite quickly in the middle of the park as both teams spar in a gritty spell. So, how about a stat? Last season, Newcastle became just the second-ever club to have 20 different goalscorers (excluding own goals) in a single Premier League season, along with Manchester United in 2012-13. So far this season, only Crystal Palace (four) have had fewer different scorers than the Magpies (five).

Newcastle build up to Forest's box, and Hudson-Odoi's header is only half-clear. Willock picks up the ball and fires on Sels' goal, yet it's wide left of the target.

Having a central defender on a yellow for more than 80 minutes is not ideal with the pace Forest have on the counter-attack. As well as Newcastle's high line, things may have to change at the interval, depending on how the Magpies can organise their defence.

Livramento is patched up after a slight bloody lip. Murillo then plays the free-kick forward, yet Elanga can't be found and Newcastle retain possession with a throw.

Speaking of Hall's earlier block, the youngster makes his 29th Premier League appearance for Newcastle today. Hall joins Jermaine Jenas (69), Steve Watson (53), James Milner (47) and Steven Taylor (41) as the only Englishmen to make more for the Magpies before turning 21.
