Dennis' poor run in the Premier League may be over. Dennis has ended on the losing side in all five of his Premier League appearances for Forest and is on an 11-game losing run in the competition, also losing his last six at Watford. He’s ended on the losing side in his last 14 home appearances, a record run for a player in Premier League history. He has more goals (5), assists (3) and yellow cards (4) than wins (2) in 19 such home appearances.
