Nottm Forest Vs Fulham: Matchday Preview, Team News and Predicted XIs

Nottm Forest Vs Fulham is set for Sunday afternoon at the City Ground in gameweek 30 of the 2025-26 Premier League season. The fixture carries significance for both clubs after difficult recent runs, with one side fearing relegation and the other seeing European hopes stall.

Match Context And Stakes

Nottingham Forest arrive without a win in each of their previous six league matches and are described as edging ever closer to the drop, currently only outside of the bottom three on goal difference. The run has coincided with a resurgence from West Ham United, a development that has increased the pressure on the club fighting to move clear of danger.

Fulham’s season has also lost momentum. They have lost four of their previous six Premier League matches and now sit four points behind Brentford in seventh place. If Brentford were to finish seventh, that position would likely earn the Bees a spot in next season’s UEFA Conference League. The slump has interrupted the aspirations of Vitor Pereira’s side for European qualification.
