Brighton will be hoping to truly put their poor run of form behind them when they host Nottingham Forest this weekend.

The Seagulls bounced back to winning ways last week when cruising to a 2-0 victory over Brentford, and back-to-back successes would certainly ease concerns of slipping into a relegation battle.

Fabian Hurzeler opted to deploy a solid, experienced starting XI at the Gtech Community Stadium, and it remains to be seen whether he leans on that unit once more against Vitor Pereira’s side.

Forest will arrive at the Amex Stadium with a spring in their step after progressing into the Europa League’s last-16 on Thursday night, but their Premier League form remains unconvincing.
