Nottingham Forest, showing their ambition, and Southampton, languishing at the bottom of the table, will face off in a highly one-sided clash at City Ground this Sunday. The points difference between the two teams has reached 35, highlighting their contrasting form. Nuno Espirito Santo's side earned a courageous 1-1 draw against Liverpool midweek, while Southampton suffered a bitter 1-3 defeat to Manchester United.
Latest team news for Nottingham vs Southampton
Despite returning from an ankle injury sustained in the FA Cup match against Luton Town, Danilo was not included in the squad for the game against Liverpool, even though there were no reports of a new injury. Therefore, Ibrahim Sangare remains Forest's only absentee, as his hamstring injury is expected to require at least another month to recover. Manager Santo may make changes to the lineup, but it is unlikely he will change the team that performed impressively in midweek, meaning James Ward-Prowse will most likely only be able to come on as a substitute against his former club.
For Southampton, young prodigy Tyler Dibling was forced off the pitch with an ankle injury in midweek and is unlikely to feature in the next game. Jack Stephens and Ross Stewart are also unavailable. Juric had to bring Will Smallbone on to replace Dibling in the match against Man United, even when the team was trying to maintain their lead. If Dibling is unavailable, one of three players – Paul Onuachu, Cameron Archer, or Adam Armstrong – could partner Kamaldeen Sulemana in attack.
Latest predicted lineups for 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 football match prediction: Nottingham vs Southampton
A match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool might have been a familiar scenario in the 70s and 80s, but in the 2024-2025 season, these two red teams are showing themselves to be strong contenders for the championship title.
Their midweek clash proved just that. Chris Wood, in impressive goalscoring form, took just eight minutes to score his 13th Premier League goal of the season, but a somewhat bizarre equalizer from Diogo Jota robbed Forest of the win. However, thanks to the brilliance of Matz Sels and Murillo in defense, the home side avoided defeat. This draw temporarily lifted them to second place ahead of Arsenal, and it also ended their seven-match winless streak. Notably, Forest have gained more points than any other team in the Premier League since the start of December, and Jota's goal was their first conceded goal in over seven hours of football.
Forest's attack has also shown effectiveness, scoring the opening goal in 17 Premier League matches, the most in the league. On the other side, Southampton had a strong first half against Manchester United, with Manuel Ugarte's own goal giving them the lead. Had it not been for the excellent performance of the opposing goalkeeper, Juric's team could have easily won away from home. Despite leaving empty-handed, Southampton can still be satisfied with their performance. However, the situation remains bleak as they are 10 points away from safety. Southampton is also the only team in the Premier League yet to win away from home this season. Even more worrying is that Southampton have lost their last three matches against Nottingham Forest and haven't won since 2012, when Morgan Schneiderlin was one of their goalscorers.
