Prediction: 2-0
Nottingham Forest
Following a 2-2 draw with Fulham in the London derby, Crystal Palace will look to finish the season with a win when they host Nottingham Forest to their Selhurst Park. The Eagles did well to beat West Ham and Bournemouth in the previous two home games, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Keep in mind, though, that all Ferguson, Tomkins, Zaha, Schlupp, and Milivojevic should miss out with injuries.
The Reds, on the other hand, managed to secure the Premier League survival thanks to their fine displays in the season finale. Forest, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Palace’s party in London. All Kouyate, Johnson, and Boly are pushing for a start as Steven Cooper should opt to make changes to the team that defeated Arsenal at the weekend.

Eze is a footballer of Nigerian descent, but he has yet to make his debut for the Super Eagles in international matches.

Nottingham Forest, the club that are often referred to as Forest, were formed in 1865. They have been playing their home games at the City Ground since 1898 and the capacity of the stadium is 30,445. Nottingham Forest are regarded as one of the greatest English clubs as they won the European Cup on two occasions.

Nottingham Forest won the national championship in the 1977/1978 season, with the team finishing the campaign seven points clear of second-placed Liverpool. To make things even better for the fans, the City Ground outfit clinched the FA Cup trophies in 1898 and 1959.
