Since their return to the top flight, Burnley are yet to earn a single point, losing all three of their home matches.

Forest have won two of their four fixtures and enter this match on the back of an impressive 1-0 win at Chelsea, prior to the international break.

Burnley will have to beware of one of the Premier League's most in-form strikers, Taiwo Awoniyi. The Nigerian has four goal involvements in as many matches, scoring three and creating another.

Key facts

Nott’m Forest have scored in each of their last 11 Premier League matches, their longest scoring streak in the top flight since a run of 14 between February and August 1995.

Since the start of last season, Taiwo Awoniyi has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Forest player (15 – 13 goals, 2 assists). He's scored or assisted in each of his last eight appearances in the competition, netting nine goals in this run and assisting Anthony Elanga's winner against Chelsea last time out.

Burnley have lost 3-0 against Manchester City, 3-1 against Aston Villa, and 5-2 against Tottenham Hotspur this season. Only one team has started a Premier League campaign with four straight defeats while conceding 3+ goals each time, with West Ham United doing so in 2010/11.

Burnley have lost all three of their Premier League matches so far this season – only twice in their history have they lost their first four in a league campaign, doing so in 1927/28 (top flight) and 2002/03 (second tier). They managed to avoid relegation both times.

What the managers have said

Steve Cooper: “We didn’t cover ourselves in glory last time out against Burnley [in the League Cup where Forest won 1-0] and I didn’t enjoy the performance one bit, so there’s always bits to learn from.“Sometimes the best way to learn is through the bad games and the tough moments and that certainly wasn’t one we did well in at all."

Vincent Kompany: "For us, this season, we know the challenge is a big one to show we belong in this league, but in the end there’s a bigger plan where we believe we can thrive in the Premier League." More details
