Nottingham Forest host Burnley looking for a third league win of the season. After Saturday's games in the Premier League they were 12th with the visitors down in 19th place. A win for Forest will take them into the top half of the Premier League table. Six points have been earned from their first three games of the season. That's a good return for The Reds considering they have just one home match. Forest won that with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United and also won at Chelsea. Their two losses have come at Arsenal and Manchester United. The latter was disappointing as they led 2-0 at Old Trafford after just four minutes but lost 3-2. Home form kept them in the Premier League last season. Their last four at the City ground have all been won and that includes beating Brighton and Arsenal.

Burnley only have Luton Town below them in the Premier League. They do have a game in hand though and a win here will take them out of the bottom three. It's been a real struggle for them since they returned to the Premier League after one season in the Championship. All three league games have been lost but it's been a tough fixture list with Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham being faced. All three were played at home but they lost them all and conceded 11 goals. Only one away game has been played this season and that was at Nottingham Forest. That was in the Carabao Cup with Burnley getting a 1-0 win thanks to a last gasp goal. Different line-ups will be fielded for this match and we go for Forest to get the win.
