However, the English midfielder remains an important part of the team thanks to his average of three tackles and 1.9 fouls won per 90 minutes, demonstrating his fighting spirit and ability to disrupt opposition play. Between the posts, Forest will rely on Matz Sels, who dominated Premier League defensive statistics.

The Aston Villa midfielder also demonstrated his defensive capabilities, recording 2+ tackles in three of his previous five appearances, showcasing his all-around contribution to the team.

This consistency in fouling patterns suggests an area of concern for the French midfielder. Newcastle United boast two of the Premier League's most fouled players from last season. Bruno Guimarães topped the charts with 108 fouls won, while Anthony Gordon claimed third place with 71. The Brazilian midfielder proved particularly effective at drawing fouls, winning and earning at least two fouls each in 15 differ...
