Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Oliver Glasner's...

Sure, that first half might not have lived up to expectations, but there was one shining moment in it.

Elliot Anderson has been outstanding.

His crossing ability has been outstanding, and it seems like the players from Crystal Palace are unable to put any pressure on him when he makes his moves toward them.

Newcastle supporters must be incredibly frustrated realizing that their club allowed him to leave.

"The Elliot Anderson Show"

Jamie Carragher, a former defender for Liverpool, spoke on Sky Sports:

Palace Continues To Struggle For Goals

Crystal Palace is still facing the same ongoing issues as before.

Their team resembles a high-end knife that has lost its sharpness. They may appear impressive, but they don't function well.

They nearly got on the scoreboard with a fantastic shot from Eddie Nketiah, but aside from that moment, they haven't shown much ability to finish.

I have a feeling that this might be a big night for Jean-Philippe Mateta...

Half-Time: Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace 0-0

Wow, Chris Wood came so close to scoring just before halftime!

Elliot Anderson delivers an astonishing cross into the six-yard area, allowing Wood to take advantage of it.

The forward reaches the ball but can only send his shot directly into Dean Henderson's hands.

That's the most thrilling event of the past 20 minutes, but now the game has stopped.

Hopefully, that indicates good things are on the horizon.

Only two minutes of additional time will be added.

I really wish these moments would fly by quicker than ever, even though I know that's not really achievable.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

It's been about 20 minutes since we managed our first attempt at scoring. That's just how dismal this match has been.

Eberechi Eze takes a shot, but it's intercepted before Nottingham Forest is awarded a foul.

It's been quite a challenging half.

"Yellow Card: Forest And Palace End In Draw"

I have some exciting updates to share, yay!

However, this is not something Crystal Palace will be pleased about, as Daichi Kamada has received a booking.

He brings down Ola Aina just as the Nottingham Forest player attempts to create some excitement.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace End In Draw

The only positive thing I can say about this game right now is that we're nearing half-time.

It's obvious that both teams are struggling with their performance. Even Crystal Palace is taking forever to take a simple free-kick.

Let's get this figured out!

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

A coworker of mine insisted that it was going to be a definite draw, and I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

I believe he could be correct, considering what I've seen in the last few minutes.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

The pace of activities has decreased a bit lately.

The game has become somewhat fragmented, and unfortunately, fouls are happening more often, interrupting the natural pace of play.

I genuinely hope we don’t end up with a scoreless game... I really dislike those.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

How has Daniel Munoz managed to pull that off?

He just collided with Callum Hudson-Odoi, yet surprisingly, he managed to escape getting a yellow card.

I was sure he was bound to receive a yellow card!

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

Eddie Nketiah is really eager to score a goal tonight; it's clear to everyone.

He's just had another opportunity to score for the guests, but he still can't seem to find the goal.

I’m saying, you’re not going to achieve anything with attempts like that.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

Eberechi Eze is feeling frustrated with Eddie Nketiah…

The midfielder shouts for the ball while the forward makes a run into the box, positioning himself at the far post, waiting for a chance.

Instead, Nketiah chooses to shoot at the goal with a weak attempt rather than passing the ball. This was clearly not the right choice.

"Game Begins To Unfold"

By Dominic King at the City Ground

Forest And Palace Clash To 0-0 Draw

How did that not score?

Nottingham Forest almost scored when Ryan Yates' header struck the post, coming just a hair's breadth away from giving them the advantage.

It seemed like it was on its way to finding the back of the net, aiming for the far corner, but Yates just can't catch a break.

As I write this, he is currently receiving treatment for an injury...

Post Match Review: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Palace

Where did that come from, Eddie Nketiah?

The Crystal Palace forward finds some room and decides to take a shot - and what a shot it is!

He unleashes a powerful shot that grazes the edge of the post. For a moment, I genuinely believed it was going to score.

Nketiah clutches his head in disbelief, unable to comprehend what just happened.

Missed Opportunity: Nottingham Forest Vs. Crystal Palace

Nottingham Forest has really hit their stride lately.

The ball is passed sharply to Chris Wood, who is making a run into the penalty area without any defenders near him.

You would think the net would swell given his recent performance, but unfortunately, his header is quite disappointing.

It was as if his head was the size of a 50p coin when the ball sailed far off target.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace End In Draw

Wow, I wonder what Elliot Anderson had for breakfast today!

The midfielder glides effortlessly past the Crystal Palace players before passing the ball to Callum Hudson-Odoi.

He regains possession of the ball, navigates past several defenders, but ultimately has his shot stopped.

I wish I could have whatever food he's been enjoying!

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

Now it's Eddie Nketiah's chance to take a shot at the goal.

It's a fair attempt, but it was never going to pose a challenge for Matz Sels in the net.

The game is beginning to become much more exciting at last.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

Oh no, Callum Hudson-Odoi has really squandered that opportunity...

The winger charges toward the penalty area, accompanied by three teammates rushing in alongside him.

However, his pass is lackluster and sails past Ryan Yates, leaving him unable to do anything with it.

He needs to improve in that area.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

Crystal Palace is currently looking more promising than their opponents.

Whenever they have the opportunity, they attempt to strike back against Nottingham Forest, and the most recent attack sees Daichi Kamada taking a shot at the goal.

It's a shot aimed at the lower body, but Matz Sels manages to gather it.

Yellow Card: Nottingham Forest Vs. Crystal Palace

An early caution has been issued.

If I had to make a wager, I would have predicted that Jefferson Lerma would be the first to receive a yellow card.

And indeed, he truly is.

The Palace player brings down Ola Aina, and that's a straightforward call for the referee.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

Alright, Eberechi Eze is ready to take on this challenge!

The Crystal Palace player hasn't been performing at his highest level this season, but he almost scored an incredible goal.

He finds room to charge at the Nottingham Forest defense and unleashes a powerful shot aimed at the upper corner of the goal.

It's an impressive shot, but it veers off target.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace Draw 0-0

The atmosphere is definitely the highlight of this game, without a doubt.

Crystal Palace is controlling possession, but they are content to play a patient game in the opening moments.

It began just as I expected it would.

Nottingham Forest And Crystal Palace End Goalless

The Nottingham Forest supporters are extremely excited for this match, no doubt about it.

As the team gathers for their huddle before the game begins, the sounds of the Mull of Kintyre fill the air, and it's so loud that I can hardly think straight.

The atmosphere is electric as the event kicks off, filled with loud cheers. The City Ground is alive with energy.

The Teams Are Coming!

The vibe at the City Ground is really getting me excited!

The speakers blast "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses as the two teams emerge from the tunnel.

The crowd is united in their disapproval, expressing it with loud boos. However, I doubt it's because they dislike the melody.

It's possible that I might be mistaken.

Henderson Makes Comeback At City Ground

Thanks, Crystal Palace, for the gentle nudge!

I might not want to admit it, but I will: I completely overlooked the fact that Dean Henderson used to play for Nottingham Forest.

I understand it’s disappointing. This is particularly true given how exceptional he was during his loan spell with the Reds.

It was the club's return to the Premier League for the 2022-23 season, and he played a crucial role in ensuring that Forest remained in the league.

It must be a strange experience to return.

"Forests Wait Patiently For Change"

Jamie Carragher, the ex-Liverpool defender, shared his thoughts on Sky Sports:

"Cool Night In Nottingham"

These warm-up images show that we are moving into the winter season.

With their gloves on and long sleeves, players are bundled up in tracksuit bottoms, eager to keep warm ahead of the game.

I think that's reasonable. It's a bit cold in Nottingham this evening.

Written by Dominic King at The City Ground

Jamie Carragher, a former defender for Liverpool, shared his thoughts on Sky Sports:

Chris Wood has experienced an incredible revival in his career at Nottingham Forest.

I'll be honest; when he joined the club, I had my doubts about the decision.

Wow, he really showed me how mistaken I was!

Since Nuno Espirito Santo took over, Wood has netted 15 goals in 23 matches in the Premier League.

In that period, only Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer, and Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace have outperformed him.

Will he be able to build on that performance this evening?

Ramsey: No Concerns For Arsenal Fans

Cardiff City midfielder Aaron Ramsey shared his thoughts on Sky Sports:

I mentioned that Ramsey would talk about Arsenal, and he doesn't appear to be too concerned about his old team.

I have a positive feeling about Crystal Palace—who would have expected that?

Although Nottingham Forest has performed exceptionally well this season, their home record hasn't been as strong.

The Reds have not secured a victory in any of their home games in the Premier League this season.

In reality, they haven't won in their last six league games at the City Ground.

Will they be able to stop that streak today?

Should Wharton Get Involved?

In response to my own question, I would say no.

We now understand the reasons behind Adam Wharton's struggles this season, especially after his exceptional performance last year.

He has been dealing with a groin injury since the Euro 2024 tournament and will require surgery to address it.

For some reason, he continues to go on instead of accepting it. I honestly have no idea why.

He's back in the lineup for tonight's game, and it seems likely that he'll continue to be part of the team for the time being.

Do you think he should address the issue directly, or push through the discomfort?

Glasner: "We're Lacking Confidence Right Now"

Oliver Glasner, the manager of Crystal Palace, spoke to Sky Sports:

Ramsey: "Olise Is A Huge Loss"

Aaron Ramsey, a midfielder for Cardiff City, shared his thoughts during an interview with Sky Sports:

Is Glasner In Trouble?

If Crystal Palace loses this evening, Oliver Glasner will likely face a lot of scrutiny.

The club hasn't had the ideal beginning they were hoping for, but they're not quite in a state of alarm just yet. However, that could easily change.

Glasner has gained some goodwill thanks to how Palace finished the previous season – they were the top-performing team in the league.

However, that trust is gradually diminishing.

In reality, our pals at SportsCasting think there's a chance he could be fired based on their AI analysis.

They anticipate that Carlos Coberan from West Brom will be his replacement, and that would be an excellent choice.

At the moment, Glasner is the one making the decisions.

It looks like the photographers are really making the most of their night, don't you think?

The City Ground offers a great backdrop for Monday Night Football, and it's looking beautiful by the River Trent this evening.

In the meantime, the team members and staff have gathered for what promises to be an exciting evening in the East Midlands.

It could also be the case, but I prefer not to adopt a negative outlook.

Fight For The Bottom Spot

Tonight's game could significantly influence the struggle at the lower end of the standings.

It's surprising to see Crystal Palace positioned in the relegation zone right now.

If they emerge victorious tonight, they will move ahead of Ipswich Town, who are new to the Premier League.

This weekend, the Tractor Boys faced another setback, suffering a loss to Everton, while the team at the bottom of the standings, Wolves, also faced defeat.

The true disappointments of this weekend were Southampton.

They've had a challenging season up to this point, and things took a turn for the worse when they let a 2-0 lead slip against Leicester.

The situation was even more heartbreaking because they were defeated by a goal scored in the 98th minute.

The Saints are currently struggling.

Yates: "We Must Play With Energy"

Ryan Yates, the captain of Nottingham Forest, addressed Sky Sports:

Aaron Ramsey Appears On MNF

Tonight, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville will no longer be paired together on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

However, all you MNF fans need not fret, as they've got a special guest lined up instead.

For one night, Aaron Ramsey will take Neville's place.

I have no doubt that the former Arsenal and Juventus player will have plenty to share about his experiences in football.

I'll share all the highlights right here, so there's no need to worry!

I can't wait to hear his thoughts; I'm sure he’ll have plenty to say about the Gunners' mistake on Saturday night.

If there are any Arsenal fans reading this blog, you might want to skip these posts.

Nuno Absent From The Touchline

Nuno Espirito Santo won't be on the sidelines this evening.

The reason for this is that he received a three-match suspension due to his conduct during a 2-2 tie against Brighton last month.

He was also fined £55,000, and the owner, Evangelos Marinakis, received a five-match ban from the stadium.

Will Nuno not being on the sideline affect Nottingham Forest?

Crystal Palace Team Update: Wharton Benched

So, Adam Wharton is taking a break on the bench.

There's been plenty of discussion about his groin injury, but he remains part of the team.

Will Hughes steps in to replace him, and Daichi Kamada is also included in the starting lineup.

Eddie Nketiah takes the forefront.

Nottingham Forest Update: Elanga Joins Squad

Nuno Espirito Santo has provided us with a response to our inquiry.

Nicolas Dominguez, Elliot Anderson, and Ryan Yates will make up the midfield trio.

Callum Hudson-Odoi retains his position, while Anthony Elanga re-enters the starting eleven.

Matz Sels is in great shape and ready to take his position as the starting goalkeeper.

I'm curious to find out which midfielders Nuno Espirito Santo will choose for today's match.

He's missing his reliable central player, Morgan Gibbs-White, because of an injury he sustained prior to the international break.

Gibbs-White is a significant loss for the team; he's essential to their style of play.

As if things couldn't get any tougher for the home team, they'll also be missing James Ward-Prowse today.

He received a red card during the match against Chelsea in one of the most unusual situations I've ever witnessed in the Premier League.

He used his hands to halt a counter-attack. I get it, that’s not something you witness in every match.

So, who will take their place in the center of the field?

We'll discover the answer in just a moment...

Eagles Must Spread Their Wings

I'll get straight to the point: Crystal Palace really needs to secure some points.

A team of their caliber should not be struggling near the bottom of the standings.

Palace hasn't secured a league victory this season and currently sits with only three points. In truth, that situation must improve tonight.

It won't be simple; Nottingham Forest is a difficult team to overcome, as Liverpool can attest.

However, if Palace faces another defeat today, the supporters may begin to feel uneasy. I never imagined I would be saying this at the beginning of the season.

Their campaign really kicks off tonight.

Can Forest Keep Soaring?

I have to confess, I was surprised by how impressive Nottingham Forest has been with Nuno Espirito Santo at the helm.

They have been exceptional under the Portuguese coach this season, and their recent improvement has been truly remarkable.

Before this weekend, they were comfortably in 10th position. That’s not too shabby considering the past two seasons they've experienced, wouldn’t you agree?

Although I'm showering them with compliments, it's important to remember that we’re just seven games into the season...

This evening, they have the opportunity to move ahead of Manchester United once again by winning against Crystal Palace.

Given the contrasting starts to the season for both teams, one might anticipate that Forest would be the favored team to come out on top in this match.

However, the game of football isn't determined by theories or predictions (I really appreciate that saying).

It's clear that Palace won't stay in a slump forever, so Forest needs to bring their A-game tonight to earn the points they need.

Will they keep up their impressive performance? We'll just have to wait and find out.

As I mentioned earlier, the Premier League made a dramatic comeback.

We witnessed red cards, penalty kicks, remarkable comebacks, and thrilling last-minute victories. The excitement was unmatched.

I’d really enjoy diving into every single match, but I worry it might take too much time and end up boring you.

Instead, let's take a moment to examine the results:

It seems like the soccer action never stops, right?

I enjoy being a reporter during this season; it feels like there's a game happening every single day in one way or another.

We've already enjoyed an exciting weekend of Premier League matches, and tonight is the perfect finishing touch.

Nuno Espirito Santo's impressive Nottingham Forest welcomes a faltering Crystal Palace.

When they’re at their best, these two teams can deliver an exciting match. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they both bring their A-game tonight!

Let's get started!

Crystal Palace's performance against Nottingham Forest lately has been quite disappointing, to be honest.

It might sound a bit harsh, but it's the reality.

The Eagles haven't been able to win against Forest in their past seven league matches.

Nonetheless, five of those matches ended in ties. The two teams clearly enjoy splitting points and seem to have developed quite a friendly rivalry by now.

Let’s hope this match has a little more excitement tonight.
