Nottingham Forest hosts Fulham at the City Ground today, looking for their first Premier League win under Vítor Pereira to distance themselves from the bottom three.
With the season’s final nine games underway, Forest is just above the relegation zone on goal difference after a six-match winless streak. Pereira’s recent draw against Manchester City was promising, but they now face Fulham, a team they’ve struggled against, losing six of their last seven Premier League matches against them.
Nottingham Forest team news
Pereira’s squad is impacted by long-term knee injuries. Chris Wood, Willy Boly, John Victor, and Nicolò Savona are all unavailable, with the latter two out for the season.
This puts pressure on Igor Jesus to score, as Forest has the league’s lowest shot conversion rate at 7.5%. Elliot Anderson has been a key player in midfield, leading the Premier League in pressures received (1,802) and line-breaking passes by a midfielder (303).
Matz Sels will start in goal, supported by a back three of Morato, Nikola Milenković, and Murillo. In midfield, Anderson will team up with Ibrahim Sangaré, while Ola Aina and Neco Williams will provide width.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolás Domínguez are expected to contribute creatively alongside Igor Jesus. Forest often scores 21% of their goals in the first 15 minutes, but they are up against a Fulham side that hasn’t conceded during that time this season.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Sels; Morato, Milenkovic, Murillo; Aina, Sangaré, Anderson, Williams; Domínguez, Gibbs-White; Igor Jesus
