The final Premier League before Christmas sees Fulham host Nottingham Forest on Monday. The home side are 15th in the table, just a place and two points above their opponents. Can the Cottagers get a fifth home league win of the season? Time for our match prediction.
Fulham won their most recent league fixture but that came after two successive defeats. While not in any relegation trouble, Fulham need to become more consistent if they want to be in European competition next season. They are scoring plenty of goals at present but still have a negative goal difference after the first 16 matches of this season and seven conceded in the last two at Craven Cottage.
Nottingham Forest made a poor start to the new season and have had three coaches this season. It's taken the appointment of Sean Dyche to move Forest away from the relegation zone. With Manchester City, Everton and Aston Villa to play soon, they will want something from this game.

Fulham - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Fulham have only twice won two successive Premier League fixtures this season. The Cottagers will be trying to make it three with a win over Nottingham Forest on Monday. It won't be two wins in a row in all competitions though. After a 3-2 win at Burnley, they lost to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
They are 15th in the Premier League and that's despite a run in September and October when four straight league games were lost. A good run would see them challenging for a European place but more consistency is required to achieve that.
23 league goals have been scored this season but 26 conceded. Their last two home league fixtures have seen them score five goals but had seven put past them. Three of their last four home league games have seen more than 2.5 goals scored.
Forest are finally climbing up the table.
Nottingham Forest are in a much stronger league position than they were before the appointment of Sean Dyche. The former Burnley and Everton boss is used to relegation battles and he's doing his best to move his new club away from the bottom three they used to be in.
Forest have won two of their last three league games and just one fewer than Fulham. Both clubs have lost eight times in this season's Premier League. Each of their last three league and cup games have seen more than 2.5 goals scored.

Fulham & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
The Africa Cup of Nations tournament is causing several Premier League clubs a few problems. Fulham can't be fans of the poorly timed tournament as they will be without Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze and Calvin Bassey who will all be playing for Nigeria.
Fulham will feel the loss of Chukwueze.
The absence of Chukwueze will be most felt by Fulham. He's scored two league goals but made four assists. They will hope for more goals from Harry Wilson who has been on target in both of Fulham's last two league fixtures.
Another problem for the home side is the possible absence of Sasa Lukic who has a groin injury. The game not being played until Monday evening is giving him more time to recover and play against Forest.
The away side are also missing players due to AFCON. Ibrahim Sangare and Willy Boly are both on duty with Ivory Coast rather than playing for Forest. Sangare will be most missed after scoring against Spurs last weekend and also making two assists.
Last season's scoring hero Chris Wood is still out injured, alongside Ryan Yates and Ola Aina.

Our Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Fulham could yet end 2025 in the Premier League's top ten. They just need to become more consistent and stop conceding so many goals. Scoring four at home against Manchester City but conceding five was unforgivable.
Nottingham Forest are moving away from the bottom three but have some tough fixtures on the way. They have won two of their last three Premier League matches but won't find this trip to Craven Cottage easy. Our main Fulham v Nottingham Forest prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
