Forest take on Wolves seeking back-to-back Premier League victories.
Nottingham Forest aim to build on their recent Premier League success despite a disappointing EFL Cup exit, as they host a rejuvenated Wolves side seeking their maiden league win of the season, in a Saturday showdown at City Ground.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest will be eager to put their recent EFL Cup exit behind them after a penalty shootout [4-3] following a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. This setback followed last weekend's Premier League where they secured their first victory, a 1-0 win over newly promoted Southampton.
Morgan Gibbs-White, who earned his first England call-up earlier in the week, scored the decisive goal to lift the Tricky Trees into 7th place with four points [1W, 1D, 0L]. They have remained unbeaten since the start of the new season.
Despite it being early days in the Premier League, earning three points in Saturday's match against Wolves would be key to maintaining a spot in the top half of the table. However, Forest have only won one of their last 11 league fixtures against Wolves [1W, 5D, 5L], and their last three meetings have all ended in draws.
A 4—2—3—1 formation is expected with Chris Wood leading the attack against the Wanderers. Danilo is the only player missing for the Reds.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Unlike Forest, Wolves earned a 2-0 win over Burnley in Wednesday’s EFL Cup clash. A brace from Gonçalo Guedes steered Gary O’Neil’s side to their first competitive victory since the start of the new season.
‘I was confident today that we'd see a good team performance, and they didn't let us down,’ O’Neil said after the win. Before the victory, the Wanderers had suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League, with the most recent being a crushing 6-2 loss to Chelsea.
This weekend, Wolves will be looking to pick up their maiden win of the season at Forest’s expense when they make the trip to City Ground. Having conceded eight goals in two opening games, Gary O’Neil needs to shore up his defensive line in an attempt to see his side keep a shutout.
While Wolves remain unbeaten in the last six league games against Forest, they are currently on a five-game losing run in the Premier League. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Jørgen Strand Larsen in attack may be seen against Forest, and midweek hero Gonçalo Guedes is also in contention for a start.
Meanwhile, Enso Gonzalez and Sasa Kalajdzic are both sidelined for the visitors. This match will test Wolves' ability to break their league losing streak while maintaining their strong record against Forest.
