Oliver Glasner was left feeling disappointed that his side was robbed of an opening-day success at Chelsea, after Eberechi Eze's free-kick was ruled out after a VAR intervention.

That could be the last time Eagles fans see their attacking playmaker in a Palace shirt, too, with the England international closing in on a switch to Arsenal.

Forest began their campaign with a brilliant 3-1 home win over a depleted Brentford side. Chris Wood picked up from where he left off last season by scoring twice, with new summer arrival Dan Ndoye grabbing the other.

Crystal Palace vs Notts Forest: Premier League preview

The Eagles are navigating through what could turn out to be a turbulent summer if two big exits are confirmed before the end of the window.

As mentioned, key midfielder Eze looks to be heading to the Emirates Stadium, despite having snubbed Tottenham's earlier advances just hours prior.

The former QPR man has enjoyed a cataclysmic career since moving to Selhurst Park in 2020, but looks set to rejoin the club he left as a 13-year-old.

There is also continuing talk that club captain Guehi leaves for Liverpool, which would compound Glasner's woes and further needs for reinvestment in the final 10 days of the window.

Despite all that, Palace still have European football to play this season and there opening-day draw at Chelsea left fans pleasantly surprised as to what can be achieved.

For Forest, Nuno Espirito Santo's men seem to have plugged gaps well after Anthony Elanga's exit, but time will tell how they fare with the burden of European football to contend with.

Forest have been promoted to the Europa League at Crystal Palace's expense, after Palace were docked a place in the competition due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules involving John Textor.

That leaves an added edge to Sunday's clash in the capital, with some reports suggesting extra police have already been summoned for the contest.

Our man to watch is certainly Gibbs White, with the former Wolves man a key metronome to Forest's midfield play and if on song, his contagious energy is hard to match.

Crystal Palace vs Notts Forest: Expected line-ups

FourFourTwo's prediction

Crystal Palace 1-2 Nottingham Forest

Palace could feel the effects of Eze's departure, especially with Forest's full-force manta in attacking areas. Morgan Gibbs White vs Adam Wharton will be an interesting midfield battle, but we fancy the Tricky Tress on this occasion.
