Nottingham Forest Premier League guide – The latest fixtures, results, team news and odds
Nottingham Forest battled to another vital point in their quest to climb the Premier League table, this time holding Brighton to a 0-0 draw at the Amex Stadium. Dean Henderson was the difference-maker for the away side, pulling off a string of saves to preserve a rare clean sheet for Steve Cooper’s side. After a disappointing 1-0 loss at Wolves last weekend, a first away point since August was very welcome for the Reds.
The clean sheet against a top 10 side might have pleased Cooper even more than the point, as Forest’s defence has been porous up to now and perhaps this signals a change in fortune at the back.
We’ve taken a look at all you need to know about Nottingham Forest – from their next league game, to the latest football betting odds.
When is the next Nottingham Forest Premier League fixture?
It’s Reds versus Reds this Saturday lunchtime at the City Ground, as Nottingham Forest host Liverpool in a 12:30 kick-off. Although it’s a first league meeting between the two since April 1999, the two did face off as recently as March in last season’s FA Cup quarter-final. Forest put in an impressive display that day, and it took a 78th-minute goal from Diogo Jota to defeat the Championship side.
The last time Liverpool visited this ground in the league, Forest earned a dramatic 2-2 draw. Goals from Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen twice put the Merseysiders ahead, but Dougie Freedman and a 90th-minute strike from Pierre van Hooijdonk rescued a point for the home side.
What are the odds that Nottingham Forest win their next game?
Forest are 10/1 to beat Liverpool at the City Ground on Saturday, and 24/5 to pick up a valuable draw. The home side have shown signs of tightening up their defence of late, with the only goal conceded in the last two games coming from the penalty spot. A clean sheet against Jurgen Klopp’s side is 10/1.
Forest may look to the excellent set-piece delivery of Morgan Gibbs-White to give them an edge in this one. Gibbs-White’s whipped cross created a goal in Forest’s last home game, and we have 9/2 that the first goal of the game arrives via a header.
Emmanuel Dennis has faced off against this opponent last season with Watford and the Nigerian forward has a couple of goals to his name already this season. With Forest desperate for goals, could Dennis be the man to provide on Saturday? He is 12/1 to get the opener against Liverpool, and 5/1 to score any time.

What is the latest Nottingham Forest injury and transfer news?
Forest will hope to have their pair of summer signings from Huddersfield – Harry Toffolo and Lewis O’Brien – fit for this one. Both are slight doubts due to a knock and illness respectively. Jack Colback is still working his way to fitness following a back injury, but left-back Renan Lodi could play. Moussa Niakhate is still a few weeks away from a return.
Who are Nottingham Forest’s key players?
Key to Forest’s fortunes this season will be their young star, Brennan Johnson. The son of former Forest favourite David Johnson, Brennan bagged 16 goals in the Championship last season and also scored his first international goal with Wales. Forest have also brought in a pair of Manchester United players, England internationals Dean Henderson and Jesse Lingard. Both will be important in keeping goals out at one end and creating them at the other.
What are the Nottingham Forest odds to be relegated from the Premier League?
Nottingham Forest are 3/10 to be relegated from the Premier League this season, although the last side promoted via the Championship playoffs – Brentford – enjoyed a fine top flight campaign. Forest have one of the best English managers in the game and have been busy in the transfer market, so there’s understandably plenty of optimism from fans ahead of the new season.

Who is the manager of Nottingham Forest?
Welshman Steve Cooper made his name while coaching England at youth level, during which he guided the Under-17 team to win the U-17 World Cup. He surprisingly left Swansea on the eve of last season, and Forest were quick to act and get their man. From there, the rest is history: Cooper oversaw an unstoppable charge up the league, culminating in play-off victory. He recently signed a new contract at the City Ground.
Where is Nottingham Forest’s stadium?
Situated on the banks of the River Trent in Nottingham, the City Ground was built in 1898 with Forest moving in later that year. One of the stands is named after the legendary manager Brian Clough, who won the European Cup and First Division while in charge of Forest.
