THE PREDICTION

Newcastle's injury crisis appears to finally be catching up with them with a disappointing defeat to Luton on Saturday highlighting how much their squad is stretched right now. They now face a Nottingham Forest side who suffered a bruising defeat themselves with a Dominic Solanke-inspired Bournemouth securing a dramatic late victory in Nuno Espirito Santo's first match in charge of the Midlands club. Neither defence is looking particularly settled right now, so expect both teams to find the net in this Boxing Day encounter.

TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
