Nottingham Forest eyes revenge against Burnley when they meet in their Premier League, with aims of avenging from their EFL Cup loss. In the league table, it is the Forest who holds a better place, sitting at the 12th, while Burnley is at the 19th. The Forest is with six points from their four matches, while Burnley remains to be winless, with zero points. Moreover, coming into this match, these two teams have different results coming into this match. These two teams first met each other in 1892, and since then, they shared 108 matches across all contests.

Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest faced the Blues after an early EFL Cup exit, but they didn’t have a knockout hangover. Forest defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with a second-half Anthony Elanga strike. Nottingham Forest’s Elanga-Taiwo Awoniyi linkup proved effective, and they defended well. Forest entered the weekend with six points from four games, but have since been bumped down to 12th due to Saturday’s results. However, by defeating Sheffield United in their first home match of the season, Forest has won each of their last four Premier League matches at the City Ground, a feat not since Brian Clough’s 1991 tenure. It is just unfortunate that they remain to be winless against Burnley in their last seven meetings. With that, expect the Forest to give their all in this match, with aims of bouncing back from their loss.
The Forest’s treatment room is already near to be empty already, but Danilo remains to be unavailable in this match. He is still nursing his thigh injury, which he picked up during their match against Chelsea. Elanga on the other hand, who replaced him, suffers with an issue in the hamstring. Meanwhile, Serge Aurier, and Wayne Hennessey are slowly working their ways back from their injuries.
Burnley
Burnley have made progress in the EFL Cup, progressing to the third round. However, their disastrous start to the Premier League homecoming has left them at the foot of the rankings, with only two sides yet to put a point on the board. Burnley played their first three games on the Turf Moor turf, but were carved open by Tottenham a fortnight ago. Lyle Foster’s fourth-minute opener had the Championship winners on cloud nine, but a Son Heung-min hat-trick, Cristian Romero rocket, and James Maddison stunner completed a fabulous comeback for the Lilywhites. Josh Brownhill reduced the arrears four minutes into second-half injury time. Despite bossing backlines in his playing heyday, Burnley has now seen his charges concede more goals than any other top-flight team so far, with only one other time having a side concede at least three goals in each of their first four Premier League matches.
Back from his three-game suspension, Anass Zaroury is coming back, with Aaron Ramsey, and Vitinho also recovered from their injuries. Darko Chulinov, Michael Obafemi, and Hjalmar Ekdal are also nearing their return for Burnley.

Nottingham Forest (1.5)
