Nottingham Forest vs Luton prediction, lineups and free live streaming

The FA Cup match between Crystal Palace and Stockport County , presents an intriguing contest, albeit one where Crystal Palace emerges as the clear favorite. Despite their inconsistent form in the Premier League—having secured only four wins and sitting just five points above the relegation zone—Palace's overall squad depth and experience position them favorably against a struggling Stockport County . The latter team is currently outside the playoff positions in League One and will face challenges without their top scorer Louie Barry. Their poor away form, marked by only three victories this season, further complicates their prospects for this match.

Nottingham Forest are two-times FA Cup winners, hoisting aloft the famous trophy in 1898 and 1959, with this the competition that famously eluded Brian Clough. Now though, given how well Nottingham Forest are going, could they get all the way to the final for the first time since '91? On Monday night, the Garibaldi Reds claimed a sixth successive top-flight victory for the first time since 1967, this time beating Wolves 3-0 at Molineux.

Morgan Gibbs-White slotting home against his former club, Chris Wood doubling their advantage on the cusp of half time, before Taiwo Awoniyi came off the bench to make the points secure right at the end. So, as mentioned, that's now six successive league wins for Nuno Espírito Santo, keeping a clean sheet during each of the last four, winning ten of their last 13 outings overall. As a result, Forest are back up to third, level on points with Arsenal, welcoming the run-away league-leaders to the City Ground on Tuesday, still the only team in any competition to beat Slot's Liverpool.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Miguel; Aina, Boly, Morato, Moreno; Yates, Anderson; Jota, Ward-Prowse, Sosa; Awoniyi

Luton Town possible starting lineup: Krul; Anderson, Holmes, McGuinness; Hashioka, Mpanzu, Nakamba, Bell; Chong; Morris, Adebayo

Predictions from various analysts suggest a likely scoreline of 3-1 in favor of Crystal Palace . This forecast aligns with statistical analyses indicating a substantial win probability of approximately 76.5% for Palace . While Stockport has managed to score in five of their last six matches, their inability to secure wins during this period raises concerns about their offensive capabilities against a Premier League side known for its defensive solidity. Betting trends also support a favorable outlook for Palace, emphasizing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring as probable outcomes .

While specific information regarding free live streams or confirmed lineups remains unavailable from current sources , fans can anticipate an engaging matchup that highlights the disparity between teams at different tiers of English football. As such, while expectations lean heavily toward a Crystal Palace victory based on recent performances and historical context—given that these teams have not faced each other since the early 2000s—the unpredictability inherent in knockout competitions like the FA Cup could introduce elements of surprise.
