Crystal Palace will be high in confidence after a fantastic win against Man Utd at Old Trafford last weekend. They have only lost once at home so far this season, and that was to Arsenal. The summer sale of Wilfred Zaha does not seem to have set them back too greatly. 

Nottm Forest avoided relegation in their first season back in the EPL and are looking to kick on this time around. The loss of Brennan Johnson to Spurs was undoubtedly a blow, but they have picked up important wins against Sheffield Utd and Chelsea so far. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi has scored three league goals already but is now out with an injury.

Both teams will be looking to head into the international break with a win, but the Eagles will be without Eberichi Eze, who is out for around six weeks due to a hamstring injury. Forest’s Nuno Tavares’s has not recovered from injury in time to feature today. Danilo also remains out with a hamstring injury.

Here's how they line up:

Crystal Palace: Johnstone, Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Clyne, Schlupp, Hughes, Mateta, Riedewald, Edouard, Ayew

Nottm Forest: Turner, Aurier, Boly, Murillo, Toffolo, Sangare, Mangala, Domiguez, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Wood  

All the details you need to watch from anywhere are down below. Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.  

How to watch the Crystal Palace vs Nottm Forest live stream wherever you are

The Crystal Palace vs Nottm Forest live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

ExpressVPN

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
