Nottingham Forest will face Fulham at the City Ground today, aiming for their first Premier League win under manager Vítor Pereira. The club has struggled, currently standing outside the relegation zone only on goal difference after a six-match winless streak. Following a promising draw against Manchester City last weekend, the Tricky Trees now confront a challenging opponent—Fulham, whom they have historically struggled against, losing six of their last seven encounters.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Vítor Pereira’s squad is notably impacted by long-term injuries. Key players Chris Wood, Willy Boly, John Victor, and Nicolò Savona are unavailable, with the latter two ruled out for the rest of the season. As a result, Igor Jesus will carry a significant load in scoring, especially since Forest has the Premier League’s lowest shot conversion rate at 7.5%.
Midfielder Elliot Anderson has been exceptional, leading the league in both pressures received (1,802) and line-breaking passes by a midfielder (303). In goal, Matz Sels will start, backed by a defensive trio of Morato, Nikola Milenković, and Murillo.
Predicted Lineup for Nottingham Forest
The expected formation is a 3-4-2-1 setup:
- Sels (Goalkeeper)
- Morato (Defender)
- Milenković (Defender)
- Murillo (Defender)
- Aina (Midfield)
- Sangaré (Midfield)
- Anderson (Midfield)
- Williams (Midfield)
- Domínguez (Attacker)
- Gibbs-White (Attacker)
- Igor Jesus (Striker)
