Clarets return to Turf Moor to take on Forest

Scott Parker's side are back at home this weekend, as Burnley host Nottingham Forest in match round five of the Premier League.

The Clarets head into Saturday after a narrow and cruel defeat to league leaders Liverpool last time out, after the visitors stole all three points in stoppage time via a penalty.

Burnley will be aiming to bounce back this weekend back on home turf, with back-to-back away games coming up for Parker's men.

Forest arrive in Lancashire with new boss Ange Postecoglou, with the former Spurs boss searching for a first win, after two defeats in his opening two games in charge.

The opposition

Forest have had a mixed start to the 2025/26 campaign, after taking four points from the first two games, the Reds have gone on to lose their last three games in all competitions.

The Reds started the season well with a 3-1 win over Brentford at the City Ground to kick off the new campaign, before picking up a point on the road at Selhurst Park a week later.

However, following a 3-0 defeat at home to West Ham United, Nuno Espírito Santo was dismissed from his role.

Now under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, Forest have shipped six goals in their last two outings under the Australian boss.

After losing 3-0 to the Gunners in his first game in charge of the Reds, Forest were then knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night in a late and dramatic 3-2 defeat to Swansea City.

What Scott Parker said

“I think Ange has been well-documented. Where he's gone, has been hugely successful at previous clubs and he did that again last year.

"So, up against a huge competitor and someone who's been around it for a long, long time. Obviously, the planning for us is, I wouldn't say not ideal, but you're obviously planning for a totally different set-up and a different outlook on the game.

"But yeah, it'll be a tough game as always and certainly with Ange being there as well, whether it was Ange or Nuno, it's the Premier League, and we'll have to come with our best game, really.”
