BREAKING NEWS;Nottingham Forest vs Fulham English Premier League match time has been rescheduled due to

Nottingham Forest and Fulham have made impressive starts to the new Premier League campaign so it should be a close game when they collide at the City Ground.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men started the season as fourth favourites for the drop, having only just avoided falling down to the Championship last term.

But Forest are now sixth in that market at 9/1 after going unbeaten across their first five games in the new campaign. Having a settled side is certainly helping after the chaos of last summer when they club splashed out on so many players after winning promotion from the Championship.

Santo now seems to know his strongest line-up and it looks like Forest will join Fulham in the safety of mid-table, with both teams also maybe capable of making a surprise push for a European place.

The Cottagers invested pretty heavily in the summer, using the big fee they received from Bayern Munich for Joao Palhinha to snap up the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Joachim Andersen.

Marco Silva now has an excellent squad and with Fulham losing just once in their first five games it bodes well for another good campaign at Craven Cottage.

How the bookies view it: Home advantage gives Forest the edge

I’ve got this down as a 50/50 game but the bookies think Nottingham Forest have the edge with home advantage. Betano price Santo’s side at 13/10, with Fulham as big as 2/1 and the draw paying 9/4.

Recent head to head: It’s Ful throttle

Fulham have dominated this fixture of late, losing just three of the last 12 meetings. Eight of those games have ended in victories for the Cottagers but they lost 3-1 on their trip to the City Ground last term.
