Burnley vs Nottingham form
Burnley's ultimate goal this season is certainly to stay in the league. Of course, for a rookie who has just returned to the Premier League, that task is not easy. After 4 rounds, the home team at Turf Moor has only earned 3 points, temporarily ranked above the group of 3 teams holding the red light.
If we only look at the above parameters, the results that coach Scott Parker and his team have achieved show many risks. However, it is important to know that Burnley's first steps after the starting line are very thorny, and it is not easy to avoid the empty-handed scenario.
Three-quarters of The Clarets' past opponents have been in the Big Six. Therefore, the losses to Tottenham (0-3), Man United (2-3) or Liverpool (0-1) are not beyond the experts' predictions. Even if they had been lucky and had kept their concentration better, Dubravka and his teammates could have earned 1 point in their last two appearances, at Old Trafford and against the defending champions.
In the remaining match, Burnley did a great job when they defeated their opponents in the same situation, Sunderland, 2-0. In between the tests in the Premier League, Scott Parker and his students also won a ticket to the third round of the League Cup by defeating lower-ranked opponents Derby County.
Overall, Burnley's performance so far has not been bad. The fighting spirit for the relegation target has become the biggest bright spot of the Lancashire team.
The problem for the Turf Moor team is that they need to quickly end their losing streak. Because the determination of Tchaouna, Anthony, Foster, Ekdal... may gradually cool down if the team cannot improve their performance.
Nottingham, for their part, are also facing many challenges. Although they started off well with a 3-1 win over Brentford and a draw with Crystal Palace, Forest's journey suddenly took a different, negative turn due to personal conflicts.
Coach Nuno Santo - the architect of last season's great success - was suddenly fired after a heavy 0-3 defeat at the hands of West Ham. The reason is not simply technical.
The tense, irreparable relationship between the Portuguese coach and owner Evangelos Marinakis as well as new football director Edu became the main cause leading to the scenario that no City Ground fan wanted.
Ange Postecoglou was trusted. However, in both matches under the former Tottenham coach, the Nottingham team lost. Those were against Arsenal (0-3) and lower-ranked Swansea (2-3) in the third round of the League Cup.
The Australian's disastrous start to the season suggests the gloom is not likely to lift any time soon, with Nottingham needing to avoid defeat at least on their visit to Turf Moor to lift the team's spirits.
