Eddie Howe admits that he faces a huge week of selection decisions for the clash against Nottingham Forest at St James' Park.
Despite having a few easier calls to make on stars like Kieran Trippier, Matt Targett, Sven Botman, Bruno Guimaraes, Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson, Howe indicated that no position is "a certainty" and after fielding two different line-ups against Atalanta and Athletic Bilbao two good victories have increased his selection dilemmas.
When asked if his first team sheet of the 2022/23 Premier League season was starting to form in his mind, Howe said: "I would probably need to look back at the game. But there were some good displays today and yesterday individually and players certainly staked a claim.
