Forest were winless in their first four matches of the season in all competitions and failed to score in three games. The Tricky Trees’ only recent win was a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa, where Igor Jesus scored an 88th-minute winner.
Oliver Glasner’s side have lost three matches in a row since that triumph. Forest lost 1-0 at home against newly promoted Ipswich and 3-1 at Crystal Palace.
Another 1-0 defeat came on Sunday at home against Arsenal. The Reds had -1 XG, no big chances and conceded with 10 minutes left.
