Crystal Palace – Nottingham Forest

Crystal Palace host Nottingham Forest in what promises to be a pivotal Premier League clash. Sitting 16th with just three points from a win and three defeats, the Eagles have struggled to find the net, managing only six goals while conceding eleven. Forest sit a modest five points in 12th place, having earned a win, two draws and a single loss, and their goal tally is evenly balanced at four for and four against. The two sides have already met this season, with Forest holding the edge in their head‑to‑head, and a positive result could see Palace inch out of the relegation zone while Forest aims to consolidate their mid‑table position. Both teams will be keen to turn their recent form around, making Selhurst Park a potentially decisive venue.
