Goal Statistics

Nottingham Forest have been reliable in front of goal of late, finding the net in 7 consecutive English Premier League matches. Their PG of 1.8 against Southampton on Sunday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Southampton fans, as should a 9 English Premier League matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
