Nottingham Forest vs. Crystal Palace: Nottingham Forest are set to host Crystal Palace in a crucial Premier League clash on Monday night, as both teams seek to solidify their positions early in the season. Forest, under the management of Nuno Espirito Santo, have enjoyed a solid start, with only one loss in their first seven games and a resilient defense that has conceded just six goals.
In contrast, Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace are having a difficult time, have yet to win this year, and are currently in the relegation zone after three draws and four losses. A win for Palace would only lift them to 17th, emphasizing the pressure on Glasner to turn their fortunes around.
Team news: Nottingham Forest will miss key players due to suspensions, including James Ward-Prowse and Morgan Gibbs-White, along with injuries to Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare. Goalkeeper Matz Sels could make a return, while new signing Carlos Miguel might debut if Sels is unavailable.
Crystal Palace also face injury challenges, with Cheick Doucoure and Matheus Franca sidelined. However, right-back Daniel Munoz is expected to return after injury.
