Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle prediction: Wood, Isak set to threaten

The Premier League's newest arrivals, Chris Wood and Alexander Isak are both in line to make their full debuts when Newcastle United head to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Wood joined Newcastle in a £25million move from Burnley on deadline day, while Isak completed a club-record £60m switch from Real Sociedad.

Both strikers will be hoping to make an immediate impact for their new club, and they will be confident of finding the net against a Forest side that has conceded nine goals in their first three Premier League games.

Forest have lost their opening three matches of the season, and they will be desperate to pick up their first points against Newcastle.

However, they will be without a number of key players, including Dean Henderson, Jesse Lingard, and Moussa Niakhate.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have made a solid start to the season, taking four points from their first three games.

They will be confident of getting a result at the City Ground, and they will be buoyed by the arrivals of Wood and Isak.

Predicted line-ups

Nottingham Forest: Hennessey; Cook, Worrall, McKenna; Williams, Yates, O'Brien, Toffolo; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Awoniyi Newcastle United: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Shelvey, Longstaff, Willock; Almiron, Wood, Isak

Prediction

Newcastle are the clear favorites for this match, and they should be able to win comfortably. Wood and Isak are both quality strikers, and they will be a handful for the Forest defense. Forest have conceded nine goals in their first three Premier League games, and they will need to improve defensively if they want to avoid another heavy defeat.
