  • Brighton have lost three of their six Premier League away games (W1, D2).

  • Forest are on a three-game winning streak.

  • Recommended bet: Nottm Forest to win

Nottingham Forest have clicked into gear under Sean Dyche and are on a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions ahead of the visit of Brighton on Sunday.

Albion are unbeaten in three themselves and they currently sit sixth in the Premier League table with 19 points.

The visitors could potentially move as high as fourth after this weekend's fixtures are concluded, depending on results elsewhere, while Forest know a win will put some distance between themselves and the bottom three.

Team news

Forest will be without injury victims Ola Aina, Douglas Luiz and Oleksandr Zinchenko, as well as Chris Wood, who is recovering from a knee problem.

Morgan Gibbs-White missed the midweek 3-0 Europa League win over Malmo, while Murillo was forced off during that game, so both are considered as doubts for Sunday’s game.

James Milner and Kaoru Mitoma remain sidelined for Brighton, but both are expected to return to action within the next month, while Adam Webster and Solly March are also missing for the visitors.

The stats

Forest have scored nine goals and conceded just once across their last three games, while they have won three of their last four games at the City Ground in all competitions.

Brighton have claimed just five of their 19 points from away games, but their lone win on the road was an impressive 3-1 victory at Chelsea.

Forest are unbeaten in their last three meetings with the Seagulls, all of which came last season, including a 7-0 City Ground victory in the Premier League.

Prediction

The Tricky Trees crushed Brighton 7-0 when these sides met in the corresponding fixture in February of last season.

A repeat of that scoreline seems improbable, with the Seagulls pushing for Europa and Forest battling the drop, but the hosts still look well placed to claim maximum points as they bid to put a bit of distance between themselves and the relegation places.

Albion's successes this season have largely come at home, as they have just one win on their travels in the league in six attempts.

The Reds appear to have hit their stride under Dyche, who has four wins and just one defeat in seven games in charge so far.

They have also been in fine form in front of goal of late, scoring three goals in each of their last three games.

Brighton may be looking for a bit of revenge after last season's City Ground mauling, but Forest are currently in the sort of form which should ensure that they secure all three points on Sunday.
