Jamie Carragher believes Newcastle United will be right in the mix for the top-four come the end of the season and believes a Champions League finish is more likely that Nottingham Forest being relegated. The Tricky Trees are only two points above the Premier League bottom three having signed 30 players since the start of the campaign.
The Forest hierarchy showed their faith in boss Steve Cooper by giving him a new deal in a tough period earlier this season. Since then, the Welsh manager has guided them away from the bottom three, but they're in the midst of a poor run of form.
Nottingham Forest have already beaten Liverpool and taken a point against Manchester City at the City Ground earlier this season, but key man Brennan Johnson is set to miss the clash with the Magpies this evening.
