Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles has admitted he would "not be here" without Nottingham Forest.

Lascelles came through the academy at Forest and made 66 appearances for Forest before leaving for Newcastle in 2014 alongside Karl Darlow. He has now made over 200 appearances for Newcastle over seven years, six of them as captain, and has established himself as a Premier League defender.

Speaking ahead of the game, Lascelles has credited Forest for getting him to where he is today, though admitted he is "focused on beating" Steve Cooper's Reds.
