Two familiar foes from April\u2019s FA Cup semi-finals face off again\u2014this time at Selhurst Park, as Crystal Palace host Nottingham Forest<\/strong> in a crucial Monday night Premier League battle. Though they both made it to Wembley, their domestic seasons have followed different scripts. Palace are coasting in mid-table, while Forest are fighting tooth and nail to stay in the top-five mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palace Riding FA Cup High, But League Form Flat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crystal Palace are buzzing after a stunning 3-0<\/strong> win<\/strong> over<\/strong> Aston<\/strong> Villa<\/strong> in the FA Cup semis. That win has sent them to their first FA Cup final since 2016, giving fans something to celebrate. However, there\u2019s not much more to play for in the Premier League. The Eagles sit mid-table, with only an outside shot at sneaking into the top ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the catch\u2014Palace rarely beat Forest<\/strong>. They\u2019ve only managed one win in their last 14 league meetings (D6, L7), and they haven\u2019t taken maximum points from any of their previous three H2Hs at Selhurst Park. Add two consecutive league draws, and Roy Hodgson\u2019s men might have to settle for another stalemate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest\u2019s Top-Five Ambitions on the Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Nottingham Forest<\/strong>, this match carries weight. A poor 2-0 loss to Brentford<\/strong> in midweek means they\u2019ve dropped out of the top five for the first time since matchday 15. Their recent form is concerning, with four defeats in their last five matches<\/strong> (W1), including a 2-0 loss to Manchester City<\/strong> in the FA Cup semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, their away form offers hope<\/strong>. Forest has collected nine away wins<\/strong> this season, second only to Liverpool. A tenth away victory<\/strong> could be historic; in the three other seasons where they reached double digits on the road, Forest always finished in the top five<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
