Form and Line-up Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest come into the match after three consecutive defeats — to Coventry City (0:1), Crystal Palace (1:3) and Arsenal (0:1). Those results have dropped Oliver Glasner's side to 19th. Their low scoring rate of 0.71 goals per game reflects the absence of Igor Jesus, who has been injured for a month, and the fact that new forward Liam Delap has scored only one goal despite averaging 73 minutes on the pitch.
- Fewer than 4.5 goals were scored in all seven of Nottingham Forest's Premier League matches this season.
- The home side had more than 12.5 shots against Nottingham Forest in 9 of their last 10 Premier League matches.
- Fewer than 3.5 goals were scored in the first half of all seven of Nottingham Forest's Premier League matches in 2026/27.
Probable Nottingham Forest line-up (3-4-2-1): Matz Sels, Jair, Ousmane Diomande, Murillo, Daniel Muñoz, James McAtee, Xaver Schlager, Neco Williams, Nicolás Domínguez, Dan Ndoye, Liam Delap
Absentees: Igor Jesus, Nicolò Savona (injured); Morgan Gibbs-White (doubtful)
