How Nottingham Forest Have Lined-up Recently
Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has stuck with a 4-2-3-1 formation so far this season and has been consistent with his team selection in the past couple of matches against Wolves and Bournemouth. Matz Sels has been between the sticks with a back four in front of him consisting of Ola Aina, Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic and Nico Williams.

Ibrahima Sangare and Elliot Anderson have occupied the two deep midfield spots, while the trusted front four of Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood continue to impress.
Nottingham Forest’s Recent Form and Tactics
Forest’s first three league matches have seen them pick up five points, drawing to Bournemouth and Wolves and beating Southampton, their best start to a Premier League season since their return to the top flight in 2022.

Their defence has been a positive so far this campaign, conceding just twice, with the attacking quartet providing dangerous threats going forward. Wood continues to prove that he is more than capable of leading the line for a Premier League side, the New Zealand striker scoring twice in his side’s trio of league matches so far. Elanga and Hudson-Odoi out wide have also stood out, the pair showing that it’s not just the big-name wingers that should be getting all the plaudits.
Nottingham Forest Injuries to Consider
Midfielder Danilo remains sidelined following his ankle break on the opening day against Bournemouth, while defender Willy Boly is a doubt after suffering a calf sprain while on international duty with the Ivory Coast.
