However, that is not the only ‘interesting’ stat though, ahead of this game at the City Ground.

Here are a few other ‘interesting’ Nottingham Forest v Newcastle United related stats to be chewing over as you look forward to the game.

Hopefully a very positive result this afternoon as we head into yet another international break.

You have to go back over 37 years for the last time Newcastle lost a top-flight match at the City Ground. On 9 May 1987 United lost 2-1, with Paul Gascoigne getting the consolation goal.

Liverpool have the tightest Premier League defence so far this season, conceding only six goals. The next two tightest defences are… Forest (seven conceded) and Newcastle (ten conceded).

In the Premier League era, Newcastle had lost none of their eleven matches home and away against Forest, until that Boxing Day 3-1 defeat at St James’ Park, when Chris Wood got a hat-trick.

Nottingham Forest’s only victory in their 12 previous Premier League meetings with Newcastle came away last season thanks to a hat-trick from Chris Wood.

Newcastle have eight Premier League wins against Forest, with three draws and just that one defeat.

Forest could win four successive Premier League games for the first time since 1995/95, a season when they finished third after promotion the previous season.

Newcastle United under Kevin Keegan the previous (1993/94) season, also finished third in the Premier League immediately after getting promotion.

Forest have four clean sheets so far this Premier League season, the same as they managed in total last season.
