Nottingham Forest will have to quickly come down from cloud nine today with unbeaten Brighton and Hove Albion next on the agenda.
Forest travel to the AMEX Stadium looking to preserve their own unbeaten record against a side who have largely been impressive this season.
Callum Hudson-Odoi was the match-winner last week but Nuno Espirito Santo knows that today will be another stern test for his team.
Forest have another away game to look forward to today and after the Liverpool exploits they have nothing to fear from the trip down south.
Tim Sherwood predicts Brighton vs Nottingham Forest result
The Reds have clearly given some pundits something to think about with their win over Liverpool at Anfield last week.
With Brighton only mustering a draw against Ipswich last weekend, clearly some feel that an intriguing game is on the horizon today.
Sherwood has predicted that Forest might just get something on their travels again today, fancying a share of the spoils when they take on Brighton.
He said on Sky Sports News: (21/09; 13:35): “I think it will be a draw. It’s not like me to sit on the fence, but I believe it will be a draw in this game. I think Brighton will have most of the possession, Forest, you know, on the counterattack, will have their threats. So for me 1-1 draw.”
Nottingham Forest record vs Brighton
Well, it’s fair to say that Forest haven’t had the best of luck against the Seagulls over the years – with Forest actually managing just two wins at the AMEX Stadium.
Forest last won at the new stadium in 2015, when Dougie Freedman oversaw a brilliant win in one of his first games as the club’s manager.
Danny Collins, Henri Lansbury and Ben Osborn scored that say to ensure a solid day for the Reds down south.
The only other win came in 2013 when Forest came from behind to win 3-1 with Lansbury again in the goals and Darius Henderson also scoring.
Since Forest were promoted back to the Premier League in 2022 it’s been a mixed bag of results against the Seagulls.
Forest drew 0-0 away and won 3-1 at home during 2022/23, whilst last season it was two defeats as the Seagulls won 3-2 on Trentside and the Reds were beaten 1-0 away.
In total, the two sides have met 41 times, with 17 of the games finishing in a win for Forest, 11 being draws and 13 going in the favour of the Seagulls.
It will be fascinating to see which way the 42nd meeting will go this afternoon.
