Crystal Palace Team News:
Guehi and Eze are the two big question marks in this starting XI. With Guehi strongly linked to a move to Liverpool, a move which is desired by Chairman Steve Parish as he does not want Guehi to leave for free in a year when his contract ends, and Eze potentially nearing an exit to Spurs, these are ones to watch. If we get any news that these transfers are edging closer, they likely do not start this weekend.
Kamada limped off against Liverpool in the Community Shield last Sunday and is set to miss 1 or 2 weeks. Hughes will start in his place alongside Wharton in midfield.

Nottingham Forest Team News:
Not much is unexpected in this Forest starting XI. The back 5 is very settled and one of the best in the league.
Anderson and Sangare as the 2 deeper midfielders is also as expected with Dominguez out injured for an extended period. Gibbs-White, who Forest somehow managed to keep under dubious circumstances this summer, starts in the 10 ahead of them.
New signing Ndoye starts at right-wing replacing Elanga who moved to Newcastle.
