Nottingham Forest vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team newsNottingham 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 newsVítor 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.

The manager will be reluctant to risk key performers given the importance of the run-in. Elliot Anderson is expected to return to the midfield following a short absence.Callum Hudson-Odoi has been a primary creative force for Forest in recent weeks. He has registered three assists in his last four Premier League appearances.

He also leads the squad for open-play chances created following a ball carry. Accordingly, his potential absence would be a significant blow to the hosts’ attacking rhythm today. Igor Jesus is expected to lead the attack if Chris Wood is rested.Matz Sels will start in goal behind a defensive line anchored by Nikola Milenković.

Neco Williams and Ola Aina are set to continue in the full-back positions. Furthermore, Ibrahim Sangaré will provide defensive cover in the heart of the midfield. Forest are unbeaten in four league games, matching their best run of the season.

They must maintain this focus to avoid being dragged back towards the bottom three.Nottingham Forest predicted lineupNottingham Forest Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenković, Williams; Sangaré, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; JesusWhen will the match kick off?The Premier League clash at the City Ground begins at 14:00 BST.How to watch Nottingham Forest vs Burnley?The match is live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League.
