Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Current League Standings

Both teams struggled early on in the season but have slowly started picking up valuable points of late.

Fulham are 14th on 20 points after 16 games. They sit seven points above the drop with a -3 goal difference, a win would massively boost confidence especially against a team in and around them and release any pressure of building up from teams below them

Forest are two places below them in 16th on 18 points, despite a horrid start to the campaign Sean Dyche has really got them rolling as they've won six of their last eight in all competitions, winning would leap frog them above Fulham and any threat of relegation could slowly be drifting away
