1. Palace’s poor record vs Forest

Crystal Palace have never won a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, drawing five and losing three of their eight encounters.

2. Forest’s contrasting home and away form

Nottingham Forest are winless in their last six Premier League home games (D3-L3), but are unbeaten in their last six away matches (W4-D2).

3. Chris Wood’s goal-scoring form under Nuno

4. Palace’s potential winless streak
