CRY
Nottingham take on Palace hoping to end three-game winless run.
In a high-stakes Monday night clash, Nottingham Forest aim to break their winless streak and climb the Premier League ranks as they host a desperate Crystal Palace side seeking their first victory of the season at City Ground.
Nottingham Forest
Despite being reduced to ten men, Nottingham Forest managed to secure a point against Chelsea in their last match. James Ward-Prowse saw an *early bath* after being sent off in the 78th minute following a second yellow card. That point helped the Tricky Trees remain in 12th place, with a total of 10 points from two wins, four draws, and one loss.
Monday night's Premier League fixture offers Nottingham Forest a chance to climb as high as four places if results elsewhere fall in their favor over the weekend. They'll host the Eagles with the aim of remaining unbeaten in eight games, having maintained a record of two wins and five draws in their last seven encounters with the visitors.
Ending their three-game winless streak in the Premier League is a key concern for Nuno Espírito Santo as he leads his team out on Monday night. Across all competitions, Nottingham Forest hasn't secured a home victory in seven games, with four draws and three losses, marking their longest home winless run since October 2020.
A 4—2—3—1 formation with Chris Wood leading the attack is expected for the match. However, they will have to navigate the game without James Ward-Prowse, who is suspended, and Ibrahim Sangaré and Danilo, both sidelined due to injuries.
Crystal Palace
Palace were left without a maiden win before the second round of the international break, following a 1-0 loss to Liverpool. The Eagles failed to respond to a goal from Diogo Jota in the first 10 minutes.
That loss left the Eagles without a win in seven opening games for the fifth time in the Premier League. As one of the four sides without a victory, Oliver Glasner is under immense pressure to lift his team off the bottom three, with Palace sitting in 18th place, having accumulated only three points (0 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses).
However, being winless in their last 10 top-flight meetings with Nottingham Forest (0 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses) since a 1-0 away win in February 1991, will not inspire much confidence ahead of Monday night's fixture. "We will see on Monday at Nottingham if it was the right moment [for the international break],’’ Glasner said at a pre-match press conference, hoping his side can secure the elusive maiden win.
A 4-3-3 formation with Nketia, Sarr, and Eberechi Eze in attack is expected for this fixture against Forest. Glasner will be without goalkeeper Matt Turner, who is ineligible to face his parent club, having arrived on loan from Forest.
Chadi Riad, Chris Richards, and Matheus Franca are all ruled out, along with Daniel Muñoz and Rob Holding. The team will have to make adjustments to cope with these absences.
