Paul Merson has warned Champions League-chasing Newcastle United that the game against Nottingham Forest "will not be straightforward" as both sides eye what would be vital points.
Forest will look to bounce back from what was a disappointing 3-1 loss against Tottenham last time out. The result means that Steve Cooper ’s side are winless in their last five Premier League games.
Recent results leave the Reds in 14th place in the table, just two points clear of the relegation zone. They have a chance to increase that gap when Newcastle visit the City Ground on Friday night (8pm kick off).
