Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace live stream and match preview

Looking for a Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace live stream? We've got you covered. 

Steve Cooper's side will be looking for only their third win of the Premier League season following promotion via the play-offs last term. Forest did at least pick up a positive result in midweek, running out 2-0 winners against Tottenham in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

Forest were unable to collect all three points in their last top-flight outing, but they did rescue a draw from the jaws of defeat. A last-gasp equaliser against Brentford last Saturday moved the East Midlanders level on points with Wolves in 19th, and a win this weekend would see them edge closer to safety.

Crystal Palace left it late to beat West Ham last time out, with Michael Olise notching the winner deep into second-half stoppage time. It was Palace's first victory on the road this term and one which moved them into the top half of the table. 

Patrick Vieira's side will arrive at the City Ground on the back of just one defeat in their last five league games. However, Palace were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in midweek, as Newcastle edged them out in a penalty shoot-out at St James' Park.

Palace will be unable to call upon James McArthur and Chris Richards, the latter of whom will miss the World Cup due to injury. Nathan Ferguson is still working his way back to full fitness after a torrid couple of years with various fitness issues, but Odsonne Edouard is on the bench after injury. Vieira has named the same starting line-up for a second Premier League game in a row.

Forest will have to make do without Omar Richards, Harry Toffolo, Giulian Biancone, Jack Colback and Moussa Niakhate. Orel Mangala was sent off against Tottenham and misses this match through suspension. Cooper makes fives changes from the side that beat Spurs, with Dean Henderson, Remo Freuler, Cheikhou Kouyate, Morgan Gibbs-White and Brennan Johnson coming into the side.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
