Nottingham Forest will be looking to make it three away wins from three this season as they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
Nuno Espirito Santo‘s men defied the odds last weekend when they visited Liverpool at Anfield and came away with all three points.
Forest‘s two wins this season have both come away from home with the Reds also securing maximum points away to Southampton.
Some pundits have bee left seriously impressed with Forest’s attacking prowess in the opening weeks of the season.
And that was seen last weekend against Liverpool as the Reds looked a real threat when they broke on the counter attack.
There is also a positive feeling inside the club with Nuno viewed as the man to take Forest forward in the Premier League.
Alan Shearer shares who he thinks will win between Brighton and Nottingham Forest
Clearly there is a positive feeling inside Forest with Nuno also sharing his delight with what he has seen from Evangelos Marinakis.
Although Forest will be riding the high of their victory at Anfield, they will need to quickly turn their full focus on the task at hand on Sunday.
Brighton & Hove Albion have also made a bright start to the season as they sit above the Reds on goal difference.
Speaking ahead of the game on Sunday, Alan Shearer has admitted he thinks it is going to be a home victory down on the south coast.
“No one had Nottingham Forest winning last week at Anfield, but they were impressive. They have had a great start to the season which I don’t think many of us saw coming,” he told Metro.
“Whether or not they can go to Brighton and do the same, I’m not sure. That might be too much of an ask to pull it off again.
“Brighton didn’t get a great result at home to Ipswich, but I do think Ipswich will be the best of the promoted sides, so it remains to be seen how that result looks long term. It has still been a brilliant start by the new manager, and they have some fantastic players. Home win.”
Nottingham Forest climb into second this weekend
Depending on how results go elsewhere in the league this weekend, Forest could well find themselves sat in second spot of the table if they were to win on Sunday.
Of course, that would require results to go heavily in their favour for that to become possible.
But another win for Forest would mark a sensational start to the season with a return to the City Ground next up against Fulham.
Forest have shown a lot of progression on last season and it seems they are up against the predictions of the pundits once again this weekend.
