The manager of Nottingham Nuno Espirito Santo not only managed to keep the Reds in the league last season but now it seems he want to take the next step. With ten points after seven matchdays, his team is doing very well. Nottingham have only lost once so far, even though their opponents have been mixed. They have yet to win a home game this season. The last three wins at the City Ground were at the beginning of April. Crystal Palace haven't won against the Reds in ten games in the top division recording 6 draws and 4 losses. Five of the last six games alone ended in a draw, including each of the last three. Oliver Glasner's team will have to accept having the ball a lot and letting it circulate patiently as the team will once again rely on the quality of Eze who is quite active in the offensive part of the game. The last four Premier League games between the two teams were not so pretty to watch. This time both teams will be particularly careful about their defense. The Eagles, on the other hand, will try everything to avoid being caught on the counterattack.
