Nottingham Forest, Recent FormWith Arsenal sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Nottingham Forest won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 away defeat by them last time out. During that encounter they had 21% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 7 of their 15 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Steve Cooper will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Forest recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
In front of goal, Taiwo Awoniyi has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 7 times in that run of games.
Sheffield United, Recent FormSheffield United will not be too troubled by their 1-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 32% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Crystal Palace's tally of 24 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Paul Heckingbottom will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
This squad has enjoyed a decent run of league form on the road of late with 4 wins from their last 6 away matches.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
In each of their last 5 away matches in the league at The City Ground, The Blades have let in at least 1 goal.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Sheff. Utd may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 3 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Taiwo Awoniyi (Ankle), Felipe de Almeida Monteiro (Knee), Wayne Hennessey (Unknown) and Moussa Niakhaté (Dislocated elbow) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Paul Heckingbottom has a number of injury concerns in his Sheff. Utd squad to contend with: Jayden Bogle (Knee), Rhian Brewster (Hamstring), Ismaila Coulibaly (Knee), John Fleck (Unknown), Daniel Jebbison (Groin), Oli McBurnie (Foot) and Ollie Norwood (Head)
