Key events
Fulham make one change from the starting XI selected for last Wednesday’s 2-1 League Cup defeat at Newcastle. Bernd Leno comes back into the team, with cup keeper Benjamin Lecomte dropping to the bench. Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze and Alex Iwobi are all on Afcon duty with Nigeria.
Forest make one change to their starting team after the 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur eight days ago. Douglas Luiz replaces Ibrahim Sangaré, who is off to Afcon with Côte d’Ivoire.
Preamble
Fulham have won five of their last six Premier League matches against Nottingham Forest, winning all three of those played at Craven Cottage by the aggregate score of 9-1. On the other hand, Forest have won four of their last six league games, while Fulham have lost their last two league games at home. So something has to give. But what? Kick-off is at 8pm GMT, after which we’ll find out. It’s on!
