Nottingham Forest vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news

Nottingham Forest host Fulham at the City Ground today, aiming to secure their first Premier League victory under Vítor Pereira and pull away from the bottom three.

The Tricky Trees have moved into the final nine games of the season, sitting outside the relegation zone only on goal difference after a six-match winless run. Manager Vítor Pereira oversaw an encouraging draw at Manchester City last weekend, but his side now faces a “bogey team” in Fulham, having lost six of their last seven Premier League meetings against the London side.

Vítor Pereira manages a squad significantly depleted by long-term knee injuries. Notably, Chris Wood, Willy Boly, John Victor, and Nicolò Savona are all ruled out, with the latter two sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Consequently, the goalscoring burden falls heavily on Igor Jesus, as Forest currently possess the league’s lowest shot conversion rate at 7.5%. Notably, Elliot Anderson has been a standout performer in midfield, leading the entire Premier League for pressures received (1,802) and line-breaking passes by a midfielder (303).

Matz Sels will start in goal behind a projected back three of Morato, Nikola Milenković, and Murillo. In midfield, Anderson will partner Ibrahim Sangaré, while Ola Aina and Neco Williams provide the width.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolás Domínguez are expected to start in the creative roles supporting Igor Jesus. Notably, Forest score 21% of their goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches, but they face a Fulham side that has yet to concede in that timeframe this season.
