Overview
- Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest meet at Selhurst Park on Sunday 11 October 2026 with a 2pm BST kick-off and live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event.
- Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner returns to face his former club after leaving Palace in the summer having won the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League there.
- Palace will be without Dean Henderson, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Axel Disasi and long-term absentee Chadi Riad while Forest are missing Nikola Milenkovic, Nicolo Savona and likely Igor Jesus with Neco Williams doubtful.
- Both sides have struggled for consistency early in the season with Forest 13th on five points and Palace 15th on four, making this an important chance for either side to build momentum.
- Pre-match markets and previews show tight odds and many tip a draw, and historical form adds context because Palace have not beaten Forest in 12 Premier League meetings.
