Two saves in win
Sels had two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 4-1 victory versus Burnley.
Analysis: Selz was rarely tested during the game, with Burnley managing only four shots throughout, but he produced a crucial save to deny Lyle Foster at a pivotal moment, preserving the 1-1 scoreline and preventing his side from falling behind at 2-1. The goalkeeper has been the preferred choice for league action since returning from injury, with Stefan Ortega taking charge in European competition. Across his six league starts during that period, he has conceded six goals, made 19 saves and kept two clean sheets. His next outing will come Friday against Sunderland.
Makes five saves Sunday
Sels recorded five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa.
Analysis: Sels came up huge to secure a vital point for Nottingham Forest in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, making a top-class stop to deny John McGinn from point-blank range after the Villa captain broke through in the second half, getting a strong hand to push away a shot that looked destined for the corner. He wrapped up the match with five saves over the full 90 minutes and had a relatively quiet first half, as Villa managed just four attempts before the break with Forest's defensive shape keeping things under control. Sels has now posted five saves for the fourth time in all competitions this season and will aim to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup against Burnley.
