Nottingham Forest host Coventry City at the City Ground on Saturday looking to build on their first Premier League win of the season, a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa.
Oliver Glasner’s side have taken five points from four games and remain unbeaten against every opponent this season bar Daniel Farke’s Leeds United. Despite that win, Forest are yet to score a home league goal this season and have not won at the City Ground in the Premier League since a 4-1 victory over Burnley back in April.
Nottingham Forest team news
Nicolo Savona remains sidelined with a knee injury. Nikola Milenkovic and Jair Cunha both reported hamstring tightness in training last week, though Ola Aina, Ousmane Diomande and Murillo formed an effective back three at Villa Park and should continue unchanged.
Igor Jesus scored the winner within 13 minutes of coming on for Dan Ndoye last weekend and has done enough to earn a start alongside Liam Delap and Morgan Gibbs-White, a switch that could see Glasner move to a 3-4-1-2 formation. Daniel Munoz, Xaver Schlager, James McAtee and Neco Williams look set to continue as an unchanged bank of four.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup
Nottingham Forest possible starting XI (3-4-1-2): Sels; Aina, Diomande, Murillo; Munoz, Schlager, McAtee, Williams; Gibbs-White; Jesus, Delap
