Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Preview

Nottingham Forest will attempt to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season as they host Fulham.

After his red card in a 2-2 draw against Brighton, Morgan Gibbs-White is suspended for a Forest side who are winless at home in their last five league games.

Their last home victory was in April – against a Fulham side who will aim to leapfrog Forest into eighth place after their impressive 3-1 win against Newcastle last time out.

In-form Forest striker Chris Wood has scored 14 goals in 21 games since Nuno Espirito Santo’s appointment, with the manager saying: “It’s not only about the goals that he scores, it’s his voice in the dressing room, what he means for the team”.

Fulham manager Marco Silva has been impressed with Emile Smith-Rowe’s form. “He’s a really talented player…there’s much more to come from him.”

Forest will be missing Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo whilst the Cottagers are without any injuries, except for long-term absentee Carlos Vinicius.

Avoiding defeat would mean Forest will go unbeaten in their first six games of a Premier League season for the first time since 1995-96.

Forest have only conceded four goals this season, whilst Fulham have scored in every game so far this season.
