Newcastle United host Nottingham Forest in a matchup of two sides currently competing in UEFA tournaments, but at the same time also sitting very low in the league table. In other words, both Forest and Newcastle are having rough starts to the domestic season; especially when you consider how they performed in last year's league competition.

Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Arsenal
The biggest match of the weekend, in the Premier League, is certainly Arsenal FC at Newcastle United. This may not be a "title tilt" or a match-up of "all-big six," but it's the best we got on Sunday.

Newcastle United Team News, Predicted XI vs Bradford City
It's the third round of the EFL/League/Carabao Cup, the portion of the tournament where "the big boys" come in. And quite often they do so against League One opposition, which is...kind of a quasi-bye to the fourth round, in a sense. Bradford City is indeed a team from that third tier of the FA pyramid, and they will visit Newcastle United, a side that finished in the top five … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Team News, Predicted XI vs Bradford City
Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at AFC Bournemouth
Newcastle United window dressed the score line in their loss to FC Barcelona last night, as Anthony Gordon got the Magpies on the board in the 90'. And with that, a 2-1 final score would soon manifest, which looks better than 2-0. Was it a "fake rally?"

Newcastle United vs Barcelona Starting XI Predictions (Champions League)
One of the biggest fixtures of UEFA Champions League matchday 1 is Newcastle United hosting FC Barcelona. It comes on Thursday night, and that gives the match a bit of a weirder feel.

Isak has been isolated because his future with the club is completely up in the air right now.
