Brighton vs Nottingham Forest - Premier League: Live score and updates

Predictions?

Right, the teams are nearly out at the Amex Stadium.

We are so close to kick-off that there is now motivational music being played over the speakers.

So, what do you guys think the score of this match will be?

My guess is 2-1 to Brighton, but to be frank, it's a really tough one to call.

'Gloomy afternoon'

Henry Clark, Mail Sport, at the Amex Stadium:

It's a gloomy afternoon on the south coast as two of the Premier League four unbeaten sides face off at the Amex Stadium. Last Saturday Brighton managed to do everything but score against Ipswich while Forest claimed that historic victory at Anfield.
Interesting to see Nuno Espirito Santo make two changes to that side, bringing in Hudson-Odoi and Elanga from the off. They changed the game at Anfield, offering an attacking outlet which ultimately led to Hudson-Odoi netting the winner.
A slight tactical tweak for Brighton too as it looks like Jack Hinshelwood will move into midfield with Pervis Estupinan slotting in at left-back.

The unbeaten duo

Could we see an unbeaten record go today?

Both Brighton and Nottingham Forest are two of the four unbeaten sides left in the Premier League.

The other two are Arsenal and Manchester City who square off at the Etihad later today.

Sure all four won't keep their records. If they do, let's hope they are high-scoring draws.

The last two games I have covered have been stalemates, I don't want more of them.

No slip-ups wanted...

The weather is rather gloomy today, isn't it?

We have been treated to glorious weather across the last week, but last night saw the rain lash down in the south of England.

It means the pitch could be rather zippy and slippy today, so both teams will need to be on alert.

Noone likes to slip-up...

Hurzeler: 'Pedro was close'

Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton boss, speaking to Sky Sports:

It was very close. Of course, João [Pedro] always wants to play. In the end, it's our responsibility to take care of the player, to protect him.
He will be a very important player for us in the season, he wants to play for Brazil internationally, so we have to take care of him and that's why he will start from the bench.

The Brian Clough derby

It has now been 20 years since the great Brian Clough passed away.

Known for his 18 years at Nottingham Forest, Clough guided the East Midlands side to back-to-back European Cup triumphs.

However, not many people know that he also spent one year on the south coast as Brighton boss in the 1973-74 campaign.

Today he will be remembered by both sets of fans, I'm sure.

More heroics from CHO?

Not many players can say they scored the winner at Anfield for the away side, can they?

Well, Callum Hudson-Odoi can...

The Nottingham Forest came off the bench to stun Liverpool last week with a superb strike in front of the away support.

It proved to be the winner in what was one of the most memorable days in his career.

Today he has been given the nod by Nuno Espirito Santo to show what he is about from minute one.

Can he produce some more magic?

Dunk closing in on 250 PL appearances

When doesn't Lewis Dunk start for Brighton?

Ever since he arrived in the Premier League with the Seagulls in 2017, the centre-back has barely missed a minute.

By being picked today he will now make his 246th Premier League start. Not bad, eh?

Only James Tarkowski has made more in the competition since Dunk made his debut seven years ago.

Mr. Reliable.

Nottingham Forest Team News - Hudson-Odoi STARTS

Nuno Espirito Santo also makes two changes.

Last week's hero Callum Hudson-Odoi comes into the side while Anthony Elanga joins him on the other wing.

I mean, if they didn't start after their substitute performances at Anfield last week, I would have been surprised.

Brighton Team News - Adingra IN

So, here is the rest of the Brighton team news.

Fabian Hurzeler has made two changes from the team that played out a stalemate with Ipswich last weekend.

Simon Adingra comes into the frontline while Pervis Estupinan also makes the starting 11.

Meanwhile, Yankuba Minteh drops to the bench.

Pedro returns...

Look who is at the Amex...

Brighton's go-to forward has been missing through injury the past two matches, but we can confirm that he does return to the Seagulls' squad today.

he won't be in from the very start, but if needed I'm sure Fabian Hurzeler won't hesitate to bring him off the bench.

We will bring you the rest of the team news shortly.

Battle in Brighton

Have we all recovered from last night?

It's bee over 12 hours but I am still in shock about Daniel Dubois' knockout victory over Anthony Joshua at Wembley last night.

But now it's time to get my footballing head on as Brighton host Nottingham Forest in the first of our Sunday matches.

While it may not be boxing, it doesn't mean we won't see one hell of a scrap at the Amex this evening.

Both teams are unbeaten, both have their tails up, and both will believe they can win this match.

It's a recipe for a cracker, isn't it?

Anyway, let's get this show on the road.
