Team Overview

Nottingham Forest are a club with a history far larger than their modern-day profile might suggest. Based at the City Ground, they won the English league title in 1977-78 and followed it with back-to-back European Cup triumphs in 1979 and 1980. Few clubs can match that, and it gives Forest a place among English football's most storied names. In the decades since, the club has moved between the top flight and the lower divisions, so a Premier League place is something supporters value highly. O. Glasner is the current manager.

BetYouCanWin expert picks has the complete rundown on this fixture.

The numbers from the current Premier League campaign point to a team still searching for consistency. From eight matches Forest have one win, three draws and four defeats, with six goals scored and ten conceded for a goal difference of minus four. Their form line of LDDWLLLD shows only one victory in the sequence. The attack is the clearest concern: Forest have failed to score in four of their eight games, half of their fixtures, and average under one goal per match. They have kept just one clean sheet, so neither end of the pitch

Impact Analysis

Nottingham Forest have two players unavailable, and both are confirmed absentees rather than doubts: N. Savona with a knee injury and Igor Jesus with a calf injury. With no players listed as doubtful, the situation is clear-cut. Neither player is in a fitness race, and the squad can be planned around their absence. The available information does not specify return timelines, so the length of their absence is unknown.

Two injuries is a modest total, and the issues affect different areas of the body, so there is no sign of a recurring problem. The available data does not list positions or appearance figures for either player, so it would be speculative to rank their importance or name direct replacements. What can be said is that losing two players at once reduces Forest's selection options, and any impact will depend on how much cover exists in the roles each player normally fills. Spreading the absences across two different areas of the squad may limit the strain on any one unit, but it also means the coaching staff must find solutions in two places. Overall, the squad depth looks manageable on the numbers alone, though only a fuller picture of the squad could confirm that.

Form Analysis

Nottingham Forest's last five matches point to an inconsistent run: one win, one draw and three defeats, with four goals scored and seven conceded. The win came away at Aston Villa (2-1), and Forest also drew 1-1 at Ipswich, but they lost 3-1 at Crystal Palace. That makes the team's form on the road noticeably better than at home, with four points from three away matches.

At the City Ground, Forest lost 1-0 to Coventry and 1-0 to Arsenal. They failed to score in either game and collected no points from those two home fixtures. Across the five matches they scored more than once only in the Villa win, and they were shut out twice, so the attack has been short of cutting edge. An average of 0.8 goals per game leaves little margin for error.

Defensively, Forest did not keep a clean sheet in the sample. They conceded exactly once in four of the five matches, and the exception was the three goals at
