Form Guides
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest Form Guides
Crystal Palace Form Guide
Pierre Sage's side have four points from five games in the Premier League and have lost both league matches at Selhurst Park.
A 3-2 win at Fulham and a 4-0 Europa League victory over Lech Poznań show the goals are there.
Daichi Kamada has been the creative spark with three league assists, and a goalless draw at Leeds United last time out brought a first league clean sheet of the season.
Nottingham Forest Form Guide
Forest travel well. Unbeaten on the road, they drew 2-2 at Liverpool and won 2-1 at Aston Villa, with all four of their league goals coming away from home.
The win at Villa Park showed the depth Glasner has to call on – Liam Delap scored straight after the break, and substitute Igor Jesus won it in the 88th minute from a Morgan Gibbs-White pass.
The goals have been shared around too, with those three and Dan Ndoye all off the mark in the league.
At the other end, Forest have conceded just five times in five games, and both of their defeats were by a single goal.
