Nottingham Forest preview: Famous win for Forest
In midweek, Nottingham Forest pulled off an impressive 1-0 defeat of Porto, courtesy of a Morgan Gibbs-White winner, to complete a 2-1 aggregate victory as they head into the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League.
Forest remain in a relegation battle, though, as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting three points above the drop zone after a just one win in nine Premier League matches.
Burnley preview: Relegation-bound Clarets
Burnley begin the 33rd match day of the campaign sitting 12 points adrift of safety as the Clarets head into this one on the back of a woeful run of form, winless since a dramatic come from behind win against Crystal Palace in February.
The Lancastrians come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion at Turf Moor in their most recent outing last weekend due to goals from a brace scored by Netherlands international midfielder Mats Wieffer.

Nottingham Forest vs Burnley prediction
Scott Parker and his Burnley side are in a woeful position. They appeared to be solid and difficult to beat for much of the first-half of this season but they have, as was always to be expected, been way below par. Nottingham Forest may well be fatigued but they are now unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions and they should be expected to come out on top here in a likely low-scoring clash at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.
