Fulham in search of first away win in trip to Nottingham.

Nottingham Forest vs. Fulham kicks off at 15:00 [GMT+1] on Saturday, September 28 at City Ground.

A feisty 2-2 draw that saw both coaches sent off in Nottingham's game against Brighton left Forest unbeaten in five games, having alternated between a draw and a win [DWDWD]. Nottingham are 8th with 9 points [2W, 3D, 0L] ahead of the weekend’s clash against Fulham, who sit right below them in the league standings. They are also one of the four sides who remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season [also Man City, Arsenal, and Brighton], and will be looking to remain so when they host the Cottagers on home turf. Following a win in this exact fixture last season [3-1], Nottingham could win consecutive home league games against the Cottagers for the first time since 2014/2015. Nuno Espírito Santo, despite last weekend’s red card, will be on the touchline following Nottingham’s request for an extension in the ongoing investigation that saw the manager red-carded. ‘It’s very difficult for managers to control their emotions sometimes. It happens with a lot of managers. It’s an emotional game, an emotional situation - sometimes it’s hard,’ he said following last weekend’s touchline incident. A 4—2—3—1 with Chris Wood is expected for this weekend’s clash against Fulham. Morgan Gibbs-White will serve a red card suspension following a challenge that leaves Brighton’s João Pedro out of Match Day 6. Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are also ruled out.

Fulham, on the other hand, are coming off the back of a famous 3-1 win over Newcastle United. The victory leaves the Cottagers one point shy of Saturday’s opponents ahead of their trip to City Ground. An impressive head-to-head record leaves Fulham [2W, 2D, 1L] with more league wins against Nottingham Forest than they have vs. any other opponent in league history [42]. The visitors have come out on top in eight of their last 11 encounters against the Tricky Trees [8W, 0D, 3L], another source of inspiration ahead of the weekend’s clash as they continue in search of their first win on the road. 'We really are looking forward to our first win away from home, we are going to work really hard to do it,’ Fulham boss Marco Silva said in a pre-match press conference. ‘They want the same at home as well, and let's see. Let's hope we can be stronger than them, and we are going to really look for the three points,’ he added. A 4—2—3—1 with a rejuvenated Raúl Jiménez in attack is expected for the trip to Nottingham Forest.
