Ambitious Nottingham Forest and rock-bottom Southampton go head-to-head at the City Ground on Sunday. The difference in points between the two sides is 35, underscoring the contrast in form. Nuno Espirito Santo's side drew 1-1 with Liverpool in midweek, while Southampton suffered a 3-1 defeat at Manchester United.
Latest Nottingham vs Southampton team information
Despite returning from an ankle injury in the FA Cup tie against Luton Town, Danilo has not been named in the squad for the Liverpool game, although there is no suggestion he has a new problem. That leaves Ibrahim Sangare as Forest's only absentee, with the hamstring injury expected to take at least another month to heal. Santo may make changes to his squad, but he is unlikely to change the side that impressed in midweek, meaning James Ward-Prowse is likely to be limited to a substitute appearance against his former club.
Southampton wonderkid Tyler Dibling was forced off with an ankle injury in midweek and is doubtful for the match. Jack Stephens and Ross Stewart are also ruled out. Juric had to replace Dibling with Will Smallbone against United, even as the team struggled to maintain their lead. If Dibling is ruled out, one of Paul Onuachu, Cameron Archer or Adam Armstrong could partner Kamaldeen Sulemana up front.
Latest predicted lineup Nottingham vs Southampton
Nottingham Forest:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Southampton:
Ramsdale; Wood, Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis; Sugawara, Downes, Ugochukwu, Walker-Peters; Fernandes; Onuachu, Sulemana
Latest Nottingham vs Southampton football review
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool may have been a familiar sight in the 70s and 80s, but in the 2024-2025 season, the two red teams are showing themselves to be serious contenders for the title.
Their midweek clash proved that. Chris Wood, in fine scoring form, took just eight minutes to score his 13th Premier League goal of the season, but a bizarre Diogo Jota equaliser denied Forest the win. However, thanks to the brilliance of Matz Sels and Murillo in defence, the hosts avoided defeat. The draw moved them up to second place temporarily before Arsenal moved up, and it also ended a run of seven games without a win. Remarkably, Forest have picked up more points than any other Premier League side since the start of December, and Jota's goal was the first they had conceded in more than seven hours of football.
Forest's attack has also been effective, scoring the opening goal in 17 Premier League matches, the most in the competition. On the other side of the front line, Southampton had a great first half against Manchester United when Manuel Ugarte's own goal put them ahead. If it weren't for the excellent performance of the opposing goalkeeper, Juric's team could have won away from home. Even if they had to go home empty-handed, Southampton can still be satisfied with their performance. However, the situation is still not bright as they are 10 points from safety. Southampton are also the only team in the Premier League yet to taste victory away from home this season. What is even more worrying is that Southampton have lost all three of their most recent matches against Nottingham Forest and have not won since 2012, when Morgan Schneiderlin was one of their goalscorers.
