Overview
- The Premier League fixture is scheduled for Sunday, 11 October at Selhurst Park with Peter Bankes appointed as referee.
- Crystal Palace sit on four points and Nottingham Forest have five points so both teams need victory to build momentum in the opening weeks.
- Pre-match reports list probable lineups and several absences that could change selection, including Jean-Philippe Mateta, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Chadi Riad for Palace and a two-match suspension for Axel Disasi.
- Broadcasters include FOX One in Mexico and a mix of regional platforms such as ESPN and Disney+ in parts of Latin America plus Fubo and USA Network in the United States.
- Nottingham Forest hold a long-term head-to-head lead with 21 wins in 51 meetings but recent matches have been tight, and both clubs now face tougher league tests next Sunday against Arsenal and Brighton respectively.
