Crystal Palace are tonight still looking for their first win of the Premier League season when they travel to Nottingham Forest . It has been a miserable start to a first full campaign in charge at Selhurst Park for Oliver Glasner, who had impressed during the opening few months of his tenure. Beaten 1-0 by Liverpool before the international break, the pressure is on.
Palace may have been unlucky at times this season but lingering in the relegation zone does not feel good enough for a team boasting their kind of quality. Forest, meanwhile, have lost only once so far this season and drew 1-1 with Chelsea last time out, having also beaten leaders Liverpool at Anfield . Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight, Monday, October 21, 2024. The City Ground in Nottingham will host the match. TV channel: The game will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers will also be able to watch on a live stream online via the Sky Go app. Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White - who is also injured - has been suspended for his reaction at being sent off against Brighton, while manager Nuno Espirito Santo has also been given a three-match touchline ban. Also suspended is West Ham loanee James Ward-Prowse, while Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare are sidelined.
Goalkeeper Matz Sels should be fit. Adam Wharton is set to feature for Palace but may need surgery at some point on a groin injury . Chadi Riad, Chris Richards, Rob Holding, Daniel Munoz and Matheus Franca are not expected to be involved, while the game will come too soon for Cheick Doucoure.
Goalkeeper Matt Turner - on loan at Palace from Forest - cannot play against his parent club. Forest have been keeping things tight this season, while Palace are struggling to break down any defence. Gibbs-White is a big miss for the hosts, but this Palace team look bereft of confidence and ideas so can’t be tipped to get a point just yet.
