Overview

• Nottinghamshire Police said extra resources will be in place as a precaution for visiting fans, with PC Simon Travell urging supporters not to react to provocation.
• Crystal Palace host Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park on Sunday, August 24, with kickoff at 2 p.m. local time and a potentially hostile atmosphere expected.
• Tensions stem from UEFA’s enforcement of multi-club ownership rules that moved Forest into the Europa League and sent Palace to the Conference League, a decision Palace failed to overturn at CAS.
• Palace’s build-up is complicated by Eberechi Eze’s absence after missing Thursday’s Conference League playoff and ongoing transfer interest in Marc Guehi.
• Forest arrive off a 3-1 win over Brentford with a largely fit squad, as speculation about Nuno Espírito Santo’s position is reported and the manager insists Forest are not to blame for the dispute.
