Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest won promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of last season, And, as you would expect, the Reds were/are expected to be one of the teams to get relegated. After all, teams coming up do often tend to go back down again.

However, it is very tough at the bottom end of the season, and Forest could yet survive. Steve Cooper’s side are 16th in the Premier League table at the moment with 26 points from 27 matches. The former English and European champions are only two points above the bottom three and only a point behind 12th-placed Crystal Palace.

Forest will head into the match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground in the Premier League this coming weekend on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United at home in the league. It followed a 3-1 loss at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur away from home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League and came after a 2-2 draw with Everton at home in the league.

Team News:

Nottingham Forest manager Steven Cooper is likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Andre Agee is likely to lead the line, while Morgan Gibbs-White will be the central attacking midfielder.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolverhampton Wanderers have done well in the Premier League over the years and also played in the UEFA Europa League recently. However, this season they have struggled, and although they have done well in recent matches, they remain in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

Wolves are 13th in the Premier League table at the moment with 27 points from 28 matches. The Wanderers are two points above third-from-bottom West Ham United, who have played 26 games, and are level on points with 12-placed Crystal Palace.

The Wanderers will head into the match against Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the Premier League on the back of a 4-2 defeat to Leeds United in front of their own fans in the league. It came after a 2-1 loss at the hands of Newcastle United at St. James’ Park in the Premier League and followed a 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the league.
