Crystal Palace is set to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, marking their return from the international break. Nottingham Forest, currently one point behind Palace with only one win, will be without Anan Khalaili, an Israeli player who was close to signing with them last summer. Forest's former coach, Oliver Glasner, who won the Conference League last year, has been replaced. Palace pursued Khalaili last year, and after his potential move to Inter Milan fell through, Forest submitted a bid of 20 million euros. However, Palace ultimately signed Khalaili for 28 million euros. Reports suggest Forest may have been negotiating higher bonus payments rather than making a new official offer. Forest later engaged in advanced talks to sign Javi Rueda from Celta Vigo, but the deal did not materialize. Instead, they signed Colombian player Daniel Muñoz for 25.7 million euros, less than Khalaili's transfer fee to Palace. Muñoz, who performed well in the recent World Cup, has started for Palace, while Khalaili has played in four games this season, scoring one goal. Crystal Palace has secured four league points so far, with wins against Fulham and a draw against Leeds.
