Match Preview
Nottingham Forest host Coventry City at the City Ground in a Premier League clash between two sides pulling in opposite directions, with Forest chasing momentum after their first win while Coventry search for their first point and first goal of the campaign.
Under new boss Oliver Glasner, Forest have taken five points from their last three games, capped by a 2-1 win at Villa Park following draws with Liverpool and Tottenham, though home form remains shaky with no goals scored at the City Ground in three matches. Morgan Gibbs-White has had a hand in three of Forest's four league goals, while Igor Jesus, scorer of the winner at Villa, pushes for a start. Defenders Nikola Milenkovic and Nicolo Savona remain sidelined. Coventry sit bottom after four straight defeats, including a 5-0 hammering by Brighton, and lose suspended striker Taiwo Awoniyi, leaving Sidiki Cherif and Ellis Simms to compete up front amid a lengthy injury list.
Our prediction: 2-0.
