Nottingham Forest v Luton: Pick of the stats
- Published
Nottingham Forest have lost just two of their last 18 Premier League home games (W8 D8), going unbeaten in the last six in a row (W4 D2). Those two defeats came against sides to finish in the top four of the table last season (Newcastle and Manchester United).
Luton have won just one of their last 14 away games against Nottingham Forest in all competitions (D6 L7), winning 1-0 in the Championship in March 2021.
50% of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League goals this season have been headers (4/8), the highest ratio of any side in the competition this term. Their four headed goals so far is just two fewer than they scored in the whole of 2022-23 (6).
Luton beat Everton 2-1 in their last Premier League away game, ending a 29-game winless run on the road in the top-flight dating back to March 1991 (D6 L23). The Hatters haven’t won consecutive such matches since November/December 1987.
Luton’s Alfie Doughty has created more chances from set plays than any other player in the Premier League this season (14). Indeed, excluding penalties and direct free-kicks, only Brentford and Everton (both
43) have had more shots from set pieces than the Hatters in the competition this term (32).
Four of Nottingham Forest’s eight Premier League goals this season have seen at least one substitute involved. These substitute goal involvements have earned Forest five points so far, the joint-most of any side in the competition this term.
