Match Preview
Nottingham Forest’s unlikely title aspirations were dented last weekend following a heavy 5-0 loss on the road against Bournemouth. However, the Tricky Trees will be expected to bounce back to form after that fifth defeat of the campaign. Forest remain third in the standings, and they are just three points adrift of second-place Arsenal.
Brighton will also be licking their wounds after a shock setback last weekend. The Seagulls couldn’t find a way through against Everton and were beaten 1-0 on home soil. That defeat ended a two-game winning sequence, but Brighton remain in the top half of the standings and are within six points of the top six.

Forest don’t have the best record against Brighton. The Tricky Trees have failed to win in their last three Premier League matches against the Seagulls, suffering two defeats over that period. Brighton were 3-2 winners in this exact fixture last term, but they have never won on successive visits to the City Ground.
Despite defeat last weekend, Forest will take confidence from their eight-game unbeaten run. The Tricky Trees conceded just four goals over that period, and they haven’t lost successive league matches since November.
Brighton have also rarely suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. The Seagulls haven’t lost in successive matches since the last two rounds of matches at the end of last season.
Nottingham Forest vs. Brighton Picks
Despite both sides coming into this round following a defeat, an entertaining clash is likely at the City Ground. The narrow preference is for the Tricky Trees, as Forest have recorded wins in six of their last eight home matches.
