Head to Head and Team News - Nottingham Forest (a)

Crewe travel to Nottingham hoping to chop down Forest and continue the excellent form and rise up the league. Forest who lie third in the league have a very good home record with only one defeat and that was against Leeds Utd. Crewe on the other hand have only won once away this season and that was a 1-0 win over Port Vale.

The Railwaymen have now gone three games with conceding a goal in the league and will find a stern test at the City ground with Forest scoring 13 times at home and only letting in 4 goal.
Crewe have yet to register a victory at the City Ground but have three draws over the last four games at Forest.
