Nottingham Forest vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news Nottingham Forest host Burnley today, seeking to translate their European momentum into vital Premier League points. The Tricky Trees are currently riding an emotional high after reaching the Europa League semi-finals. Manager Vítor Pereira has revitalised the club, leading them on a six-game unbeaten run.

They recently secured a dominant 3–0 victory over Tottenham to aid their survival bid. A win today would provide essential breathing space as the relegation battle reaches its climax. Despite their improvement, Forest have struggled to find the net at the City Ground.

They have scored just 14 goals in 16 home league matches this season. This represents their lowest home goals-per-game ratio in a top-flight season since 1996-97. Notably, they have won just one of their last eight league meetings with Burnley.

Pereira will demand more clinical finishing to avoid a tense afternoon. Nottingham Forest team news Vítor Pereira must manage several injury concerns following the physical battle against Porto on Thursday. Chris Wood, Murillo, and Callum Hudson-Odoi all picked up knocks and face late fitness tests.
