Bernd Leno GK vs. Matt Turner GK
Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno is an experienced shot-stopper who previously starred for Arsenal in the Premier League. In 14 starts this season, Leno has registered 4 clean sheets behind a shaky Fulham defense. While he can make spectacular saves at times, Leno has also allowed 20 goals as Fulham have struggled defensively. His save percentage of 72% is below average, and he has not done enough to inspire confidence in the back line. Still, Leno has the reflexes and skill to potentially stand on his head.
Conversely, goalkeeper Matt Turner has just 2 clean sheets in 10 starts for Nottingham Forest this term. It’s been a baptism by fire for Turner in his first Premier League action after making a name for himself in MLS. While he has made some big saves already for Forest, Turner has little margin for error behind a porous defense. Too often he’s been left exposed, allowing 15 goals for a 60% save rate. Turner has struggled with crosses and lacks the commanding presence Forest need at the back. Fulham will try to test Turner early and often, running right at the Forest defense to try and break it down.
