Forest Focus

Nottingham Forest face Crystal Palace at the City Ground in the Premier League on Sunday in a game with plenty of talking points.

Palace meanwhile are in freefall in the league having lost key players to other clubs and suspension, while manager Oliver Glasner will leave at the end of the season, if not before.
