19 Apr
Summary
- Nottingham Forest is in a critical Premier League relegation battle.
- The team is on its longest unbeaten run, reaching Europa League semis.
- Key players return from injury for crucial league match.

Nottingham Forest's head coach, Vitor Pereira, has selected his starting eleven for a pivotal Premier League match against Burnley. The team has a significant opportunity to improve their standing above the relegation zone with six games remaining in the season. This crucial fixture follows a strong performance in European competition. Forest is currently enjoying its longest unbeaten run of the season, having recently advanced to the Europa League semi-finals. This success came at a cost, with several players forced off due to injuries in their last European outing. Fortunately, key players Murillo and Chris Wood have recovered and are available to play. Midfielder Elliot Anderson, who missed the previous match due to personal reasons, is also included in the starting lineup. Pereira has made four alterations to the team from their European fixture, introducing new players into both midfield and defense. The starting formation sees a familiar defensive unit, with Anderson partnering Sangare in midfield. The attacking support for Wood will come from Bakwa, Gibbs-White, and Hutchinson. The bench features a mix of established players and potential substitutes ready to contribute if needed.
