Nottingham Forest Preview – Will the Reds seal a huge three points on home turf?
Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest are on the cusp of the play-offs after an excellent run of form. The Reds go into this massive midweek matchup having won three and drawn three of their past six in the Championship.
Since Cooper took over back in September, only Fulham, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City have beaten them. Nottingham Forest are also through to the last eight of the FA Cup – they face Premier League giants Liverpool at the City Ground on Sunday.
Before the weekend’s big cup clash with Jurgen Klopp’s men, can Cooper’s troops secure a precious three points in the league? They are the bookies’ favourites in this one at 19/20.
Queens Park Rangers Preview – Can the Hoops pick up another positive result on the road?
Queens Park Rangers are enjoying a fine season under Mark Warburton. The Rs have defied the odds and put themselves in a great position to get back to the Premier League after several years away. They start the week in fourth position with 59 points to their name.
QPR edged past Luton Town in a promotion six-pointer last time out. They were a goal down at half time, but an Andre Gray penalty and a late Rob Dickie effort earned the Hoops a priceless three points at Kenilworth Road.
