Nottingham have started well despite not so easy schedule, let us take a look at results and performances so far:

In the first round they were badly dominated at times away at Arsenal, but in the end gave a good fight.

Winning Sheffield Utd at home is a minimum requirement if they want to stay in the league, but they needed a long shot at 88th minute by Chris Wood to win the game.

Losing away to Man Utd was more or less expected, but the surprise was they led by 0-2 after 4 minutes! A red card on 2nd half did not help, but it was rather late and did have much of an effect on total xG. Winning Chelsea is a huge result, but it was rather lucky and undeserved, and both of those expected top teams Man Utd and Chelsea are in at least mini crisis already at this stage of the season!

Burnley have lost all 3 games they played, against Luton the match got postponed. They have been ambitious with their playing style, it worked miracles in the Championship, but so far the opponents have been far too good and enjoyed toying with Vincent Kompany' s Burnley defense.

As you can see, there is nothing to brag about with the results, but in fact they might be in 0 points after this schedule even if their had tried ultra defensive approach, City, Villa, Tottenham!

The teams met in the league up a few weeks ago, Burnley won with a late goal (pictured below) by midfielder Amzouni at 90th minute. It was only league cup, both had a rotated lineup but still, it is more positive than negative to win away a key opponent. Both are expected to fight for survival this season.

The Nottingham coach Cooper was happy of that result:

"We got what we deserved in terms of the result. It does not need details today, it needs the basic fact that we fell short of our performance levels collectively and individually.

It wasn't a great game, it had 0-0 written all over it but I didn't feel we would concede. Technically we were miles off it today."

So Burnley have conceded 11 goals this season in 3 games. It must be something the coach Kompany - a world class defender himself on the pitch - surely has worked on during the break, and this rthe first good test for both teams to see where they are.

At team news we have some ideas, top midfielder Danilo, and regular starters defender Aurier and striker Elanga will miss the match for the home side. At Burnley there are good news; striker Zaroury returns from suspension, and top players Ramsey and Vitinho return from injury. Only a few players are left at Burley injury room, Ekdahl, Churlinov and Obafemi.

尽管赛程不那么轻松，诺丁汉还是开局不错，让我们来看看迄今为止的成绩和表现:

在第一轮比赛中，他们在客场面对阿森纳的时候被严重控制，但最终他们打了一场漂亮的比赛。

如果他们想留在联赛中，在主场击败谢菲尔德联是最低要求，但他们需要克里斯伍德在第88分钟的远射才能赢得比赛。

输给曼联或多或少在意料之中，但令人惊讶的是，他们在4分钟后就以0-2领先!下半场的一张红牌并没有起到什么作用，但这已经很晚了，而且对总上场人数有很大的影响。赢得切尔西是一个巨大的结果，但这是相当幸运和不值得的，这两支预期的顶级球队曼联和切尔西在本赛季的这个阶段至少已经陷入了小危机!

伯恩利输掉了3场比赛，对卢顿的比赛被推迟了。他们对自己的比赛风格充满了野心，这在英冠联赛中创造了奇迹，但到目前为止，对手的表现太好了，他们喜欢玩弄文森特·孔帕尼的伯恩利防守。

正如你所看到的，没有什么值得吹嘘的结果，但事实上他们可能在这个赛程后0分，即使他们尝试了超级防守，曼城，维拉，热刺!

这两支球队几周前在联赛中相遇，伯恩利在第90分钟凭借中场球员安祖尼在最后时刻的进球(见下图)获胜。这只是联赛杯，双方都有轮换的阵容，但赢下一个重要的对手是好事多于坏事。两人都将在本赛季为生存而战。

诺丁汉主帅库珀对这个结果很满意:

“就结果而言，我们得到了我们应得的。今天不需要细节，需要的是一个基本事实，那就是我们集体和个人的表现都没有达到我们的水平。

这不是一场伟大的比赛，0-0的结果早已写在纸上，但我不认为我们会失球。从技术上讲，我们今天离它很远。”

本赛季伯恩利在3场比赛中丢了11球。这一定是孔帕尼教练——球场上的世界级后卫——在中场休息时所做的，这是两支球队的第一次很好的考验，看看他们在哪里。

在球队新闻方面，我们有一些想法，顶级中场达尼洛，常规首发后卫奥里耶和前锋埃兰加将缺席主队的比赛。伯恩利传来了好消息;前锋扎鲁里停赛归来，顶级球员拉姆齐和维蒂尼奥伤愈归来。只有几名球员留在伯利的伤兵室，埃克达尔，丘里诺夫和奥巴费米。
