Chance for Gibbs-White! Gordon's shot at one end is blocked, and the touch from the Forest defender reaches the Newcastle half. The hosts break at speed, as they did in the reverse fixture, and Nuno Tavares cuts the ball back to Gibbs-White in the centre of the area. He drags his shot just wide of the bottom-right corner.

Gordon is a surprise inclusion in the Newcastle XI after limping off at half-time in last week's 4-4 draw with Luton Town. It means the only change is a tactical one, with Wilson in for Murphy as a more natural centre-forward. Newcastle captain Lascelles, who came through the Forest academy, is fit again and on the bench.

Forest made eight changes to face Bristol City in the cup, but they show only one change from their last league match as Niakhite replaces Omobamidele. Gibbs-White is fit despite sustaining a knock in midweek, while Sels makes his home bow against former club Newcastle.
