Nottingham Forest will be looking to end a four-game winless run in the Premier League when they play host to Luton Town at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.
While the Tricky Trees currently sit 14th in the table, the Hatters find themselves three places and five points further back in 17th after eight games.
Steve Cooper was able to take positives from the goalless stalemate with Palace, particularly the clean sheet, and believes that the fact that his side left a notoriously difficult ground to play at in Selhurst Park disappointed with just a point is a sign of progress made by the club.
Forest have picked up nine points from their first eight games this campaign, five more than they managed at this stage last season, and they could move eight points clear of the relegation zone with a victory on Saturday.
Many would consider this weekend's encounter with Luton as one of Forest's easiest fixtures on paper, but the Tricky Trees will not take the Hatters lightly as they have failed to win any of their last four league meetings, losing and drawing two games each, with all four taking place in the Championship between 2020 and 2022.
