Both sides have scored in six of the last seven league meetings between Burnley and Nottingham Forest, with the only exception a 1-0 win for the Clarets in the Championship in February 2016.

After their 2-1 win at Turf Moor on the final day of the 2023-24 season, Nottingham Forest could win back-to-back league meetings against Burnley for the first time since September 2003, and first time in the top-flight since March 1967. The Tricky Trees have never previously won back-to-back league visits to Burnley, with this their 52nd trip.

Burnley have lost six of their last seven Premier League games (W1), while only two of their last seven wins in the competition have come against sides that aren’t newly promoted; Fulham in December 2023 (2-0) and Brentford in March 2024 (2-1).

Nottingham Forest have lost each of their last two Premier League games 3-0; not since March 2024 have they lost three successive league games. Indeed, the Tricky Trees are also without a clean sheet in their previous 12 league games, after keeping eight in their prior 14 matches.

Since the start of 2023-24, the only manager to see his side concede more goals in the opening five minutes of the second half than Ange Postecoglu (8) is Andoni Iraola (10). In his first game in charge of Nottingham Forest last week, Viktor Gyökeres scored for Arsenal in the 46th minute.

Burnley have the highest expected goals against total of any Premier League side this season (9.4), while only Manchester United (0.17) have a higher xG per shot faced average than Nottingham Forest this term (0.15).

Although this is Burnley boss Scott Parker’s first Premier League game as a manger against Nottingham Forest, he’s won each of his last three league games against them, doing so in the Championship for Fulham and Bournemouth, beating a different manager in each win (Lamouchi, Hughton, Cooper).

Nottingham Forest manager Ange Postecoglou won both of his previous Premier League games against Burnley in 2023-24 as Spurs boss, while he’s won five out of six away games against newly promoted sides in the competition (D1), scoring 19 goals in the process.

Burnley winger Jaidon Anthony has scored in both of his previous Premier League appearances against Nottingham Forest (2 goals), doing so while playing for Bournemouth in 2022-23. They are the only side he’s scored against more than once.

Only Nicolas Anelka (18) has more Premier League goals against sides he previously played for in the competition than Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood (14), two of which came against Burnley on his last league trip to Turf Moor in May 2024.
