Nottingham Forest host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday and there's a lot on the line, especially for the visitors who are yet to taste victory in the Premier League this season.

At the moment, Forest are 12th in the league but could move as high as eighth should they win today, while Palace are desperately looking for a victory to climb out of the relegation zone.

The biggest omission from the Forest contingent will be manager Nuno Espirito Santo as he served a three-match touchline ban for "improper conduct" in the match against Brighton.

James Ward-Prowse and Morgan Gibbs-White are also suspended for this one.

Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are long-term injury absentees.

Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace Expected Lineups

With Ward-Prowse and Gibbs-White out, expect Nicolas Dominguez to come into midfield and Anthony Elanga on the wing which will allow Elliot Anderson to play in the central attacking midfield role.

Palace may have lost against Palace but they acquitted themselves admirably so Oliver Glasner may go with an unchanged side.
