Jair, Schlager, Jesus – Nottingham Forest’s strongest XI after mixed start to season

Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner has favored consistency in his starting selections despite a mixed run of early-season results. While injuries have occasionally forced tactical adjustments, Glasner has primarily relied on a core group to build familiarity within his preferred system as the Premier League campaign progresses.

Key positions across the lineup have begun to solidify, with Matz Sels established as the primary goalkeeper ahead of John Victor and Steven Benda. In defense, Ousmane Diomande, Murillo, Nikola Milenkovic, and Brazilian youngster Jair Cunha remain in contention across the back three, while Daniel Munoz, Neco Williams, Ola Aina, and Luca Netz contest the wing-back spots.
