How both teams go into Nottingham Forest vs Southampton

Nottingham Forest are rampant right now, winning each of their last six Premier League matches and seven of their last eight, with only Manchester City beating them during that time. The Tricky Trees are third in the Premier League table, five points clear of Newcastle in fifth and only six points adrift of leaders Liverpool. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men host Luton in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the Premier League before this match.

Southampton, meanwhile, remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, with just one win and six points on the board from 20 matches. The Saints are now 10 points adrift of safety and are in very real danger of becoming the Premier League’s worst-ever side. Before this match, they host Swansea in the FA Cup and travel to Man Utd in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest team news

Danilo is close to returning from a broken ankle, but Ibrahim Sangare is unlikely to be fit enough for this match.

Southampton team news

Southampton could welcome back a host of players for this match and there’s a real possibility they will have a fully fit squad available.

Nottingham Forest vs Southampton head-to-head
