Goal Statistics

Nottingham Forest have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 6 consecutive FA Cup games. Their PG of 1.9 against Luton Town on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

With a PG of just 0.9, Luton Town look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that Nottingham Forest haven't conceded a goal in 4 consecutive FA Cup matches, and it could be a long afternoon for Rob Edwards's men.
