We said: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Newcastle United

 Fewer first team and squad players available may force Howe to field a strong Newcastle side here, and that could be to their advantage as they look to avenge Forest for those two second round cup defeats in the late 2010s. The hosts have made a good start in the league, but they will certainly face a sterner test here than the one offered to them by Southampton at the weekend. Read more.
