At the other end, Tottenham Hotspur had 20 attempts on goal with 10 on target. Heung-min Son (16', 63', 66'), Cristian Romero (45') and James Maddison (54') scored for Tottenham Hotspur.
In as many as 5 of the previous 6 games involving Burnley, a minimum of three goals have been struck. The average number of goals per game within that spell is 3.5, with the average number of goals for Burnley working out to 1.5. We will see if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

๐ค๐ค Head to head
An inspection of past results between these clubs stretching back to 24/09/2013 tells us that these fixtures have not been kind to Nottingham Forest. Theyโve not managed to register any wins whatsoever while Burnley have dominated them, beating them in 67% of those ties.
13 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 4 for The Reds and 9 coming from The Clarets. Thatโs an average goals per game figure of 2.17.
๐ฐ Team News: Nottingham Forest
The Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper does not have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match owing to a completely injury-free squad available for selection.
We think that The Reds should opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, utilising Matt Turner, Ola Aina, Joe Worrall, Scott McKenna, Gonzalo Montiel, Anthony Elanga, Orel Mangala, Ibrahim Sangare, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi.
๐ฐ Team News: Burnley
Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, thereโs just the lone fitness worry for the Burnley gaffer Vincent Kompany to be concerned with. Mike Trรฉsor (Biceps femoris muscle injury) misses out for this game.
Weโre of the thinking that The Clarets will likely utilise a 4-4-2 lineup, choosing James Trafford, Ameen Al Dakhil, Jordan Beyer, Charlie Taylor, Connor Roberts, J. Berg Gudmundsson, Josh Cullen, Josh Brownhill, Luca Koleosho, Zeki Amdouni and Lyle Foster.
๐ญ Prediction
We think that Burnley will have to perform well to score goals against this Nottingham Forest side who we think should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.
Weโre therefore anticipating a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 winning score for Nottingham Forest at the end of the match.
There should be little in it.
