Nottingham Forest
Sabri Lamouchi's men keep pushing for promotion, at present in 4th spot merely 1 point adrift Leeds in 2nd spot and 4 points clear of Bristol City just outside the play-off places.
Statistics
Looking at the season so far, Forest concede around the league average of shots and shots on target per game. However, recent weeks tell a different and interesting story as we'll explore in just a moment.

In fact, only Leeds and Brentford have conceded fewer goals than Forest so far this season.

Looking at the last 4 games, Forest have conceded on average 3.00 shots on target per game - one of the best defensive numbers in the league right now. Impressive stuff indeed since those numbers include games against promotion rivals Leeds and Brentford.
Charlton Athletic
The Addicks will be looking over their shoulders for the remainder of the season, currently residing in 21st place only 4 points clear of relegation. The south-east London club have stalled somewhat at a low point and Lee Bowyer need to find some sort of remedy to keep his boyhood club safe and sound in the second tier.
The south-east London club still miss two of their most prominent goal scorers in Macauley Bonne and Jonathan Leko due to injuries.
