Jobi McAnuff is the latest pundit to offer his take on whether Nottingham Forest will be relegated this season.
Forest drew 2-2 with Manchester City in their last Premier League outing to breathe some life into their fight for survival.
How confident are you that Nottingham Forest will avoid relegation this season?
Tottenham, West Ham and Leeds are also in the mix to join Wolves and Burnley in next season’s Championship and the business end of the season is getting closer.
Joe Hart praised Forest during the 2-2 draw with City last week, and now, McAnuff has picked who he thinks could go down this season.

Jobi McAnuff thinks Tottenham are in more trouble than Forest
McAnuff is a regular pundit on Sky Sports for their EFL coverage, and Forest will be hoping he isn’t regularly covering their games next season.
He did cover Forest’s game at City for Sky, and on the back of that, he’s told the Forest Focus podcast why he’s now more concerned about Tottenham than the Reds.
He said: “It’s going to go down to the wire. It’s interesting, you look at Leeds in comparison to the teams that have come up in previous seasons, and you think they’ve had a good season.
“But, you look at the table now, and I think that’s a bit of a worry for them, considering they’ve had a decent season, they’re only one win away from that bottom three now. West Ham, I think, in terms of them between Forest and Tottenham, they’ve been the best in recent weeks.
“Tottenham, I mean, if you were to ask me which team out of all of those down there that looks like a relegation team, I’d say Tottenham, definitely, I’m not sure about them, the manager has had a really negative impact with the fans and the players and I feel it’s playing into the other team’s hands a little bit.”
Forest clash with Tottenham feels massive
This weekend, Forest play Fulham at the City Ground, and Tottenham travel to Anfield to play Liverpool.
Then, the biggest game of the weekend, the following week, sees Forest go to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a game that could go a long way to deciding which team gets relegated.
Forest have a nine-game season from this point, and the hope will be that relegation can be avoided and then a summer reset can take place.
Hopefully, McAnuff will be right and if Tottenham do drop into the relegation zone, it’s very hard to imagine them getting out, given how their players have performed under new boss Igor Tudor.
