Nottingham Forest vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as visitors hang on to win
Follow all the action from The City Ground
Nottingham Forest will have designs on picking up all three points against struggling Brighton when the teams clash at the City Ground this afternoon.
Steve Cooper wants his Forest side to close out matches with clinical performances when they’ve been on top as he looks to continue to distance his team from the bottom three. Forest slipped to defeat last time out against West Ham, thanks to a late goal from Tomas Soucek, and will want to rectify that today.
After a wonderful start for Brighton where they won five of their first six games, Roberto de Zerbi’s men have not triumphed in the league since September. Four draws from their last five games is a frustrating return for the Seagulls who have their sights set on Europe.
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton have endured a disappointing run of form of late, failing to win in their last six games (D4 L2). The Seagulls are sat in eighth place in the table, but could leapfrog Manchester United in sixth if they win at The City Ground. The Seagulls drew at home to struggling Sheffield United in their last fixture, so Roberto De Zerbi will be desperate to see his side turn things around today. Brighton have scored and conceded in their last 16 Premier League games, so we could expect plenty of goals.
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Forest host the Seagulls as they look to continue their unbeaten start to the season at The City Ground (W2 D3). Despite their impressive home form, Steve Cooper’s side currently find themselves sitting in 15th place in the Premier League table, but they could go level on points with Chelsea in 10th if they secure the three points today. The Tricky Trees will be looking to bounce back after being defeated by West Ham United last time out before the international break.
