Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood will be aiming to haunt old club Newcastle United in Sunday's Premier League battle at the City Ground.
The New Zealand international endured a difficult time at St James' Park, scoring just four Premier League goals, but he has already doubled that tally in 10 games in the 2024-25 season.
Wood has goals in each of his last four Premier League games - never before has he scored in five straight matches in the tournament - and the 32-year-old should spearhead an unchanged Tricky Trees lineup on Sunday.
Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White are primed to provide Wood's supporting cast, as another ex-Newcastle man in Elliot Anderson is forced to watch on from the bench.
James Ward-Prowse is back in the fold after being unable to face parent club West Ham United last weekend, but Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez are surely untouchable in the middle of the park.
Ola Aina capped off the 3-0 beating of the Irons with a fabulous goal, and the 28-year-old is expected to join Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic and Alex Moreno in front of Matz Sels, who was also at Newcastle from 2016 to 2018.
Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahima Sangare (hamstring) are the only injury victims for Santo to worry about this week.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Dominguez, Yates; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
