Crystal Palace host Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park on Sunday, October 11 (9:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM CT / 6:00 AM PT).
Crystal Palace will be without knee-injury absentee Chadi Riad Dnanou, suspended defender Axel Disasi, thigh-injury casualty Jean-Philippe Mateta and injured goalkeeper Dean Henderson, while thigh doubt Anan Khalaili and calf/shin/heel doubt Takehiro Tomiyasu are touch-and-go; Tyrick Kwon Mitchell, Daichi Kamada and Jørgen Strand Larsen look the most likely to carry the hosts’ attacking threat at Selhurst Park. Nottingham Forest are missing thigh-injury absentee Nikola Milenkovic and knee-injury absentee Nicolo Savona, leaving Morgan Gibbs-White, Liam Delap and Dan Ndoye to lead the visitors’ response.
Both sides arrive short on goals: Crystal Palace’s goal difference sits at -5, and Nottingham Forest’s sits at -1. Palace’s last outing was a goalless draw at Leeds, and Forest have drawn two of their past five games before a home defeat to Coventry. Expect a cagey afternoon at Selhurst Park where clear-cut chances are rationed rather than traded, with Jørgen Strand Larsen or Tyrick Kwon Mitchell offering Palace’s best route to a narrow breakthrough.
