    Massive moment for Nottingham Forest | Burnley preview

    2026/04/17 | 1h 1 mins.
    Nottingham Forest have come along way in the last few years as they secured a place in the Europa League semi-finals after beating FC Porto 2-1 on aggregate. Aston Villa await but Forest remain entrenched in the Premier League relegation battle with a huge game against Burney at the City Ground to come on Sunday.

    We'll reflect on the Porto win and preview the Burnley game as Forest have injury worries over Chris Wood, Callum-Hudson-Odoi and Murillo, while Elliot Anderson could miss the game after the death of his mother.

    Matt Davies is joined by Daniel Storey, Matt Davies-Adams and Rob Adcock. #nffc #nottinghamforest

    Nottingham Forest 1 Porto 0 match verdict | Huge win at a huge price?

    2026/04/16 | 55 mins.
    Nottingham Forest beat FC Porto 1-0 in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals at the City Ground to go through 2-1 on aggregate. Victory for Forest secured a second a European semi-final spot for the first time since 1984 but it came at a huge price potentially after Forest lost Chris Wood, Murillo and Callum Hudson-Odoi to injury. Forest were also without Elliot Anderson after the sad death of his mother Helen.

    Wood was injured in a tackle which saw Jan Bednarek sent-off before Morgan Gibbs-White got the only goal on the night.

    Matt Davies is joined by Paul Morley and Dillon Mapletoft to discuss whatever happens around 10 minutes after the game finishes. #nffc #nottinghamforest
