We all remember how this game played out in early September. Forest went 2-0 up at the City Ground, only to be left stunned by a rousing Bournemouth resurgence in the second half, which left Gary O’Neill’s side celebrating as 3-2 winners.

Eyes opened wide when Nottingham Forest signed Atalanta’s veteran Swiss international midfielder Remo Freuler in September, a star player in Italy’s Serie A, nearing fifty caps and with plenty of Champions League experience.

There’s been plenty of hype around the Brazilian duo in Danilo and Scarpa since arriving at Nottingham Forest in the January transfer window, and rightly so. The ex-Palmerias teammates will certainly add a new dynamic to Steve Cooper’s side who are growing into Premier League life. However, their fellow Brazilian, Renan Lodi, has started to…
With the Premier League now at the midway stage and Nottingham Forest sitting in 13th place, five points clear of the relegation spots, just a few weeks ago, this rise would have been a near impossible thought given the run of games ensuing the new year: Chelsea (h), Southampton (a) & Leicester (h) – one…
When the Titanic hit an iceberg in April 1912, on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, Captain Edward John Smith went down with his ship. He was following a maritime tradition, though there was no legal obligation to do so. If ‘the last person to leave the sinking ship’ has a ring of…

Last time these two teams met, their situations were completely different, yet so similar. Both teams were struggling, rooted to the bottom of the table. On that day, Leicester ran away with it at the King Power Stadium as 4-0 victors, but the Foxes will not be playing the same Nottingham Forest side. Form is…
An eye-catching scoreline: Nottingham Forest 12 – 0 Leicester. Remember that? No, not even I do!

The January transfer window was always going to be a busy 31 days for Nottingham Forest, and it took almost nine days before the first official bid was submitted.
