Fulham in search of first away win in trip to Nottingham.
In a highly anticipated clash at City Ground, Nottingham Forest aim to preserve their unbeaten streak and secure back-to-back home victories over Fulham, who are eager to capitalize on their strong head-to-head record in pursuit of their first away win of the season.
Nottingham Forest
A feisty 2-2 draw, which saw both coaches sent off, marked Nottingham's game against Brighton. This result left Forest unbeaten in five games, alternating between a draw and a win [DWDWD].
Nottingham are currently 8th with 9 points [2W, 3D, 0L], set to face Fulham, who sit just below them in the league standings. They are one of four sides still unbeaten in the Premier League this season, alongside Man City, Arsenal, and Brighton.
Following a win in this fixture last season [3-1], Nottingham have the chance to claim consecutive home league victories against the Cottagers for the first time since the 2014/2015 season. Nuno Espírito Santo will be on the touchline after Nottingham requested an extension in the investigation after his red card.
Espírito Santo reflected on the incident, saying, ‘It’s very difficult for managers to control their emotions sometimes. It’s an emotional game, an emotional situation - sometimes it’s hard.’
A 4—2—3—1 formation featuring Chris Wood is expected for the clash against Fulham. Morgan Gibbs-White is suspended following a challenge affecting Brighton's João Pedro, while Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are also ruled out.
Fulham
Fulham are entering this match after a memorable 3-1 win over Newcastle United. This victory puts the Cottagers just one point behind their upcoming opponents as they visit City Ground.
Historically, Fulham have a strong head-to-head record against Nottingham Forest, with more league wins against them than any other team in their league history. Notably, they've emerged victorious in eight of their last 11 encounters with the Tricky Trees, a fact that might inspire them as they seek their first away win of the season.
Fulham's manager, Marco Silva, expressed confidence in his team: 'We really are looking forward to our first win away from home, and we are going to work really hard to do it,' he said. He added, 'Let's hope we can be stronger than them, and we are going to really look for the three points.'
A 4-2-3-1 formation is anticipated for Fulham's lineup, featuring a rejuvenated Raúl Jiménez leading the attack for the trip to Nottingham Forest.
