Fulham travel to the City Ground today, aiming to complete a Premier League double over Nottingham Forest and reignite their push for European qualification.
The Cottagers have moved to within four points of seventh place despite a frustrating 1–0 home defeat to West Ham in their last league outing. Manager Marco Silva has overseen a strong period at the turn of the year, and his side now faces an opponent they have dominated recently, having won six of their last seven top-flight meetings. Fulham boast an 86% win rate against Forest—their highest against any side they have faced more than twice in the Premier League.
Fulham team news
Marco Silva manages a nearly full-strength squad and is expected to welcome back a key creative outlet. Notably, Harry Wilson has returned to training and is likely to be in contention for a place in the squad.
Consequently, Silva has plenty of options in the final third, including Raúl Jiménez, who has a phenomenal record against Forest, averaging a goal involvement every 65 minutes against them. Notably, Joachim Andersen remains the defensive lynchpin, having recorded 464 carries this season—the second-most among central defenders in the division.
Bernd Leno will start in goal behind a back four likely featuring Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey. In midfield, Sander Berge and Alex Iwobi are expected to control the tempo, supporting a creative trio of Samuel Chukwueze, Emile Smith Rowe, and Oscar Bobb.
Notably, Fulham are among the league leaders for successful passes per game (401), and they will look to use this possession-heavy style to break down a Forest side that has struggled to keep home clean sheets recently. Raúl Jiménez is set to lead the line, looking to maintain his perfect record of goal involvements in every appearance against the hosts.
