Fulham are set to play Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage on Saturday in the English Premier League.
Fulham come into this game on the back of a 3-2 win over Tony Mowbray's Sunderland in the 4th round replay of the FA Cup. Goals from Welsh winger Harry Wilson, Brazilian midfielder Andreas Pereira and French left-back Layvin Kurzawa secured the win for Marco Silva's Fulham. Second-half goals from attacker Jack Clarke and Costa Rican forward Jewison Bennette proved to be mere consolation for Sunderland.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, beat Leeds United 1-0 in the league. A first-half goal from Wales international Brennan Johnson sealed the deal for Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Fulham are currently 8th in the league, and have impressed with their performances this season under Marco Silva's management. The form of Aleksandar Mitrovic has surely helped, with the Serbia international, who did not enjoy the best of Premier League experiences with Newcastle United, finding the net on a regular basis this season.
Portuguese midfielder Joao Palhinha is another player who has impressed; the 27-year old has provided steel to Fulham's midfield, while the likes of Kenny Tete and Willian have proved to be important players as well. Portuguese right-back Cedric and Serbian midfielder Sasa Lukic joined the club in January. Silva, who was regarded as a bright young coach in Portugal but struggled with the likes of Hull City, Watford and Everton in England, has once again shown why he is rated so highly.
Nottingham Forest shocked everyone when they acquired three-time Champions League winner Keylor Navas on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in January. They have, for all intents and purposes, purchased a new squad since their promotion.
Steve Cooper's side are currently 13th in the league, and have won three of their last five league games.
Fulham to emerge victorious here.
