Nottingham Forest vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news

Nottingham Forest host Brighton on Sunday, aiming for a third consecutive Premier League victory.

Sean Dyche’s side have been in irresistible form recently. In fact, they won their last two league games by an aggregate score of 6-1. This run includes comfortable wins over Leeds United and Liverpool. Consequently, the hosts will be confident of extending their unbeaten run to six matches in all competitions.

Moreover, they boast a formidable recent home record against the Seagulls. Forest thrashed Brighton 7-0 in this exact fixture last season. A win here would make history for Dyche. He would become the first Forest manager to see his side score three or more goals in three consecutive top-flight games.

Sean Dyche faces a nervous wait regarding Morgan Gibbs-White. The playmaker is nursing a back injury described as a “waking-up sort of issue.” Consequently, he missed the midweek Europa League victory over Malmö.

If he fails to recover, James McAtee is the most likely replacement. He impressed as a starter in that European fixture. Alternatively, Dyche could push Nicolas Domínguez further forward for more defensive solidity.

Up front, a selection battle is brewing to lead the line. Chris Wood remains absent with a knee injury. While Igor Jesus pushes for a start, Arnaud Kalimuendo has staked a strong claim. Indeed, he scored his first goal for the club in the 3-0 win over Malmö. Whoever starts will receive support from the in-form Callum Hudson-Odoi. Meanwhile, Dan Ndoye is likely to feature on the right flank after coming off the bench midweek.
