Alexander Isak has vowed to bring "more" to the party for Newcastle United in the final 13 games.
The Sweden international bagged the opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend in a 2-1 win and now heads to the City Ground looking to extend his streak. Isak missed the first half of the campaign through a muscle injury but is eager to make up for lost time.
Isak said: "Hopefully more playing time will come and now we have an important game at Nottingham Forest, and we want to go into the break with a good feeling. That's as far as I'm looking at the moment."

Isak's season took another worrying dip when he suffered with concussion after the Magpies beat Southampton in the Carabao Cup semi-final in January. Eddie Howe reflected: "As I said before he got the concussion, he was in really, really good form in training and I was desperate to see him execute that on the pitch, and I felt he did that against Wolves.
"Hopefully, it's the start of a really good run for him. I think he's a different player to anyone we have in the squad.
"He has really good versatility to his game - I think he could do a bit of everything, which is a great asset for us to have in our frontline. I think he brings a different dimension, but every player has their own strengths and uniqueness which makes the team slightly different."
Isak insisted he had set no targets in terms of goals for the remainder of the season. When asked to sum up his season, Isak said: "I'm not the type of person to sum up a season in the middle of it, I'll take it each week at a time, each game at a time and I just want to do my best and I'll sum up the season when it's finished."
