Nottingham Forest are winless in their last four league games against Luton (D2 L2), with these taking place in the Championship between 2020 and 2022.

Luton are unbeaten in their last four top-flight meetings with Nottingham Forest (W2 D2), with this the first such match since a 2-1 win at Kenilworth Road in April 1992.

Luton have won just one of their last 14 away games against Nottingham Forest in all competitions (D6 L7), winning 1-0 in the Championship in March 2021.

Nottingham Forest have lost just two of their last 18 Premier League home games (W8 D8), going unbeaten in the last six in a row (W4 D2). Those two defeats came against sides that finished in the top four of the table last season (Newcastle and Manchester United).

Luton have just four points from eight Premier League games this season (W1 D1 L6); in their Football League history, they have never had as little as four points from their opening nine matches of a campaign before (assuming 3/win all-time), with five their fewest (in 1962-63 and 1974-75).

Luton beat Everton 2-1 in their last Premier League away game, ending a 29-game winless run on the road in the top-flight dating back to March 1991 (D6 L23). The Hatters haven’t won consecutive such matches since November/December 1987.

Four of Nottingham Forest’s eight Premier League goals this season have seen at least one substitute involved. These substitute goal involvements have earned Forest five points so far, the joint-most of any side in the competition this term.

Luton have had just 17 sequences of 10+ passes in open play in the Premier League this season, at least 25 fewer than any other side. Indeed, the Hatters have the lowest average possession (36.1 per cent) and the highest per centage of long passes (21 per cent) in the division this term.

50 per cent of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League goals this season have been headers (4/8), the highest ratio of any side in the competition this term. Their four headed goals so far is just two fewer than they scored in the whole of 2022-23 (6).

Luton’s Alfie Doughty has created more chances from set plays than any other player in the Premier League this season (14). Indeed, excluding penalties and direct free-kicks, only Brentford and Everton (both 43) have had more shots from set pieces than the Hatters in the competition this term (32).
