00:00Newcastle United return to St James' Park on Sunday to face a Nottingham Forest side

00:07who have been the surprise team in the Premier League so far this season. They currently

00:11sit third in the table which would be enough to qualify them for the Champions League which

00:16of course they are previous winners of under Brian Clough. Newcastle qualified for the

00:21Champions League two years ago and are wanting to return to the competition but currently

00:25sit in 7th place and six points behind Nottingham Forest. However, a win for the Magpies would

00:31see them close to within three points of their opponents and give themselves a chance to

00:36leapfrog Forest with plenty of favourable fixtures to come for Eddie Howe's side. The

00:41Magpies will face former players Chris Wood and Elliot Anderson on Sunday at St James'

00:46Park but will hope that they will have enough to overcome them having already beaten them

00:50at the city ground earlier in the season by three goals to one. This is quite the game

00:55for Newcastle but one they will hope to win.
