Premier League 2024-2025: Fulham-Nottingham Forest, the likely lineups
Fulham-Nottingham Forest, the probable formations
On Saturday at 4 p.m. at Craven Cottage in the Premier League, Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest will pay a visit to Marco Silva’s Fulham in a crucial challenge for both teams’ European ambitions. The Tricky Trees are surprising in the league and dreaming of a Champions League spot, while the Cottagers aim to stay in the running for Europe.
After two defeats in the last three games, Fulham è returned to victory in the last round of the Premier League, beating a direct competitor for Europe such as Newcastle away. Thanks to this success, the Cottagers remain in the running for a place in next season’s continental competitions. For the home match against Nottingham Forest, Silva will have to do without the injured Nelson, Tete and Wilson, three absences that reduce the options available to the Portuguese coach.
Nottingham Forest reacted strongly to the heavy defeat against Bournemouth, overwhelming Brighton with a 7-0 win. A success that consolidated the extraordinary march of the Tricky Trees, with eight useful results in the last nine days and an increasingly concrete European dream. For the challenge against Fulham, Elanga will be confirmed in the three-quarter alongside Gibbs-White, supporting Wood as the only forward. Out is the injured Carlos Miguel, while Murillo, Hudson-Odoi and Awoniyi remain in doubt.
Probable lineups
Fulham (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Traore, Smith-Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez. Coach: Marco Silva.
Nottingham Forest (3-4-2-1): Sels; Morato, Milenkovic, Murillo; Ola Aina, Danilo, Anderson, Williams; Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood. Coach: Espirito Santo.
