Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest prediction 11.10.2026 | Premier League

Crystal Palace prepares for this one on the back of a rocky start to their league campaign. The Eagles captured a historic Conference League trophy last season under Oliver Glasner, who subsequently left for Nottingham Forest.

Now under Pierre Sage, the side has struggled for domestic footing, registering just one victory, one draw, and three defeats in their opening 5 league games.

A hard-fought 0-0 draw away at Leeds United was their most recent domestic outing. At home, they are enduring a three-match losing streak in the league following a heavy loss to Manchester City and a narrow defeat by Ipswich.

Tyrick Mitchell has stepped up as an unlikely hero with 2 Premier League goals so far. Fortunately, they have no major selection or injury absentees to worry about for this clash.

Nottingham Forest enters this one on the back of an incredibly erratic start to the year. The Tricky Trees barely survived relegation last season, crawling across the line in 16th place with just 44 points.

However, things look significantly better now under Oliver Glasner. The side has shown real steel across their opening 5 league games this season, racking up one win, two draws, and two defeats.

Their last match was a highly frustrating 1-0 home loss against Coventry City. On the road, their form is phenomena. Forest remain unbeaten away from home this season, including a stunning 2-2 draw at Anfield and a gritty 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Liam Delap has spearheaded the attack, already contributing 1 goal contribution. On the injury front, Nicolò Savona misses out again due to a stubborn knee injury.
