Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will not be too troubled by their 3-2 away defeat against Liverpool, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 19% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 18 attempts and 6 on target.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 12 times in that period. They are showing great consistency at The City Ground in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
Nottingham Forest will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 11 games.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormBrighton & Hove Albion will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Chelsea. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 9 of which were on target. Chelsea had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 10 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Brighton will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Evan Ferguson will be looking to cause Nottingham Forest some problems having scored 2 goals in Brighton & Hove Albion's last 6 away games in the league.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
In their last 2 league meetings with Forest, The Seagulls have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Serge Aurier (Knock), Giulian Biancone (Cruciate ligament), Willy Boly (Hamstring), Jack Colback (Concussion), Dean Henderson (Muscle), Cheikhou Kouyaté (Hamstring), Omar Richards (Leg), Gustavo Scarpa (Knock), Chris Wood (Leg) and Ryan Yates (Shoulder) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Roberto De Zerbi has a number of injury concerns in his Brighton squad to contend with: Evan Ferguson (Ankle), Adam Lallana (Hamstring), Tariq Lamptey (Knee), Jakub Moder (Cruciate ligament), Jeremy Sarmiento (Foot), Jason Steele (Knock) and Joël Veltman (Muscle)
