Newcastle take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League for the first time since 1998 at St James' Park.
The last time these two sides met, Dave Beasant was in goal for Nottingham Forest and we were starting to grow concerned about the Millenium bug believe it or not! Since then Forest have been to Hull and Hell and back after 23 years out of the top division.
But now Steve Cooper has guided them back to the promised land and it doesn't get much bigger than a sell out crowd at St James' Park to kick everything off.
Lee Ryder's prediction
Newcastle may not have signed a striker or two in the last month but they still have more than enough firepower to see off Forest. Even if Callum Wilson and Chris Wood don't cause any damage, Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron and Ryan Fraser have a few tricks up their sleeve these days.
I can see this one being a home win. Let's go for a 3-1 victory.
