The final game to be played in the English Premier League on the 7th of October takes place at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace meet Nottingham Forest.

The hosts begin the weekend in 9th place on 11 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 8 points.

Crystal Palace come into the game on the back of an excellent 1-0 win at Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend.

The Eagles opened the scoring in the 25th minute and defended well to protect their advantage for the remainder of the match to claim the victory.

The win at Old Trafford was the first victory in 4 matches in all competitions for Crystal Palace. They suffered defeats at Aston Villa in the Premier League and Manchester United in the League Cup.

There was also a 0-0 draw at home against Fulham in the Premier League, a game Crystal Palace were hoping to win.

Trends show Crystal Palace have not lost in 7 of their last 8 home games in all competitions.

They have won 4 of their last 8 Premier League matches on home soil, with the wins coming over Leicester City, West Ham, Bournemouth, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Crystal Palace have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 4 home Premier League fixtures.

Nottingham Forest travel to Selhurst Park having taken a point from their most recent match, which was at home to Brentford in the Premier League.

It was Brentford who opened the scoring in the 58th minute but Nottingham Forest did well to equalise 7 minutes later having had a player sent off.

The draw with Brentford means Nottingham Forest have failed to win their 3 most recent games and have picked up a single victory in their last 6 matches in all competitions.

The win came away from home against Chelsea but there have been defeats at Manchester United and Manchester City in the Premier League plus a 1-0 loss at home to Burnley in the League Cup.

Nottingham Forest have picked up a point at home against Burnley and Brentford in the Premier League.

Trends show there have been under 2.5 goals in 5 of the latest games in all competitions of Nottingham Forest.

Away form in the Premier League shows Nottingham Forest have lost 3 of their last 4 fixtures. They have just a single victory from their last 14 league games on the road.

Team news: Crystal Palace are without the injured trio of Naouirou Ahamada and Odsonne Edouard.

They also have doubts over the fitness of several players, including Omotayo Adaramola, James Tomkins, Jefferson Lerma, Nathan Ferguson, and Matheus França.

Nottingham Forest make the trip to London without suspended defender Moussa Niakhate. Danilo, George Shelvey, and Wayne Hennessey are doubts.

Only two teams in the top twelve of the Premier League have scored fewer goals than Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest this season. That suggests we should see under 2.5 goals in this game and with few goals in the match, it makes a draw the most likely outcome.
