With the record of one win, one draw and four losses as Forest boss, Vitor Pereira has so far been unable to inspire the change needed by his side. Over 1.5 goals has landed in four of those games, with 1-0 defeats against Liverpool and Midtjylland, respectively, missing this mark. However, Forest generated a total of 2.91 xG across those two matches, which suggests they were unlucky.

With 43 goals conceded from their 29 Premier League games this season, Forest have been poor at the back, which has been a consistent theme all season. However, they can carry a threat going forward, and will hope to be more ruthless in the final third this weekend.

They host a Fulham side who have also been far from convincing at the back in recent weeks, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 14 matches across all competitions.

United have also seen an uptick in cards when playing in Manchester, with 1.86 cards per game at home, compared to just 1.50 on the road.

This selection has landed in eight of the last 10 games at Old Trafford, and Aston Villa are an excellent matchup to improve that hit-rate even further. Unai Emery’s men have drawn the most infringements out of all Premier League teams this season, which has also translated to the most cards for their opponents. 

This selection has landed in nine of the last 10 head-to-head encounters between the two sides, and with little to split them in the league standings, it should again be a competitive affair.

Leeds have been unlucky in the final third, and their lack of ruthlessness going forward has hindered them recently, but their defensive structure has also been quite poor. Leeds have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven Premier League matches, and they have only won one game in that stretch. 

That will fill Crystal Palace with confidence, especially as they come into this clash in a decent patch of form. They have won three of their last five league games, which has lifted them up to 13th in the standings, well clear of the bottom three. 

The Eagles are averaging 4.36 corners per game at Selhurst Park this season in the league, and have landed this selection in four of their last five matches. They only missed this mark against Aston Villa, but they had three corners in that match, so they went close.

I’d fancy my chances of rallying 11 lads together who could score a few against this Tottenham side right now. They are hopeless, and above all, most of them simply do not care. I think Liverpool could comfortably manage this line on their own.

Spurs shipped five in midweek against Atleti, four of them coming inside the first 25 minutes. 

Spurs have shipped two or more goals in their last nine straight Premier League matches, and in 17 of their 29 matches so far this season. That record is the 2nd-worst in the Premier League, only Burnley have conceded two or more, more times - ironically, the sides drew 2-2 in January.

Liverpool have also been very strong in terms of scoring goals in the recent head-to-heads; they won 2-1 in the reverse fixture, and in the two prior meetings they won 5-1 and 4-0.

Liverpool matches have averaged 3.00 goals, with 62% seeing over 2.5. Tottenham games have seen 2.93, with a massive 69% seeing three or more.

As bad as Spurs are, they can contribute - they’ve netted in nine of their last 10 league games.
