The Austrian side come into the fixture with highly inconsistent form with two wins out of their previous five matches. The one thing that has remained consistent however is the sides inability to keep a clean sheet, leaking a whopping eleven goals in their last five games. Meanwhile the attack appears to be firing with eight scored in the same five games.

Nottingham Forest have also shown a mixed bag when it comes to recent form with three losses, one draw and one win in their previous five outings. Keeping it tight at the back has appeared to be a shared struggle with the midlands side conceding nine across the mentioned games, whilst scoring four themselves.

Forest talisman Chris Wood is yet to re-emerge from a knee injury sustained on national team duty in October, there remains an incredibly slim chance the kiwi is available off the bench for the game however current news suggests Dyche's side will not be relying on this and are projecting him to be a possibility for the game against Leeds United.

Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): England national team midfielder Anderson has been on fire this season justifying the sides scrutinised £35m investment in him.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (Nottingham Forest): Another England international in Hudson-Odoi is one of the standout players in this Forest side. The tricky winger may be lacking in G/A so far this season with only one goal however his creative influence has been vital for the struggling side.
