Eddie Howe's been slowly building his new-look squad this summer following on from the January transfer window, and it's a great chance to get off to a flyer at St. James' Park.

Forest, however, won't be any pushovers and have recruited a ton of new players all set to make their top-flight debuts.

But with seasoned Premier League star Jesse Lingard now in their ranks, he poses a danger to the Toon this weekend - and he also scored a penalty on his last visit to the North East in April 2021.

BoyleSports believe Howe's side will have enough to get all three points and fancy goals from both - so they're boosting Newcastle to win and both teams to score from 11/4 to 3/1.

Furthermore, both clubs have served up a feast of goals with 16 scored in the last four meetings since 2016.

Every time Toon ace Allan Saint-Maximin scored at home last season (five), the Magpies did not lose, while Chris Wood has six wins, five goals and one assist in eight career meetings against Forest.
