WDWDDW 📈

Nottingham Forest will go into this meeting after a 0-1 Premier League win over Liverpool in their last outing.

In that game, Nottingham Forest managed 30% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Nottingham Forest was Callum Hudson-Odoi (72'). On the other side, Liverpool got 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.

A run of reliable showings from the Nottingham Forest defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 clashes in total. In that period, their forwards have scored 7. While that may be of interest, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend shall be replicated in this next game or not.

ℹ️ Team News: Brighton

Solly March (Knee injury) and Matt O'Riley (Ankle injury) aren’t available for Brighton gaffer Fabian Hürzeler.

We think that The Seagulls may well line up in a 4-4-2 system for this game and select Bart Verbruggen, Joel Veltman, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupinan, Simon Adingra, Jack Hinshelwood, Carlos Baleba, Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter.

ℹ️ Team News: Nottingham Forest

Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Nottingham Forest gaffer Nuno Espírito Santo to be concerned with. Danilo (Foot injury) won’t be in action.

We reckon that The Reds seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Matz Sels, Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Alex Moreno, Ryan Yates, James Ward-Prowse, Nicolas Dominguez, Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood.
