When Nottingham Forest plays Fulham this Saturday, they’ll be trying to maintain their perfect start to the season.
After a thrilling victory over Newcastle United the previous weekend, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team will be facing Fulham.
With nine points from their first five games, Forest has emerged as one of the Premier League’s shocks this year.
Three of those points were even earned away from home against Liverpool, which was reinforced by a strong road point against Brighton & Hove Albion the previous weekend.
Due to his red card against the Seagulls, Forest will be without its key player this weekend in Morgan Gibbs-White.

With nine points from their first five games, Forest has emerged as one of the Premier League’s shocks this year.
Three of those points were even earned away from home against Liverpool, which was reinforced by a strong road point against Brighton & Hove Albion the previous weekend.
Due to his red card against the Seagulls, Forest will be without its key player this weekend in Morgan Gibbs-White.
In light of this, Chris Sutton believes that at the City Ground, there will only be one outcome.
Chris Sutton makes his prediction for the Fulham vs. Nottingham Forest game.Although White will be out from Saturday’s match against Fulham, the Reds will still have plenty of options.
Elliot Anderson is a talented midfielder who could replace Forest’s number ten, but Marco Silva has already said that he is leery of his abilities.
However, Sutton anticipates that the two teams will play to yet another draw at the City Ground now that Gibbs-White is out.
Sutton said to BBC Sport, “I like Fulham at home, but I’m not sure I like them as much away.
Morgan Gibbs-White’s suspension means Nottingham forest will be without him, which is somewhat of a setback.
Although it has draw written all over it, this is going to be a really good game.
Nottingham Forest must record a victory at home.
The only two victories Forest has had this season have come away from home against Southampton and Liverpool.
Fans will be hoping for the Reds to win at home for the first time this season this weekend.
And Fulham, who are only one point and one spot behind Forest in the standings, will present a very evenly matched opposition against Forest.
While keeping their winning streak intact is crucial, a victory for Forest would make a big statement and put the Reds in the top four.
