Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the latest live score, team news and updates as Nottingham Forest welcome Brighton to the City Ground in the Premier League. By Harry Bamforth. The vibes are looking strong in the Nottingham Forest camp, that's for sure. The players and staff have just arrived at the City Ground and it doesn't look like they are feeling any heat, does it?. Just look at those smiles - Nuno Espirito Santo is beaming. It's a nice change from the usual game faces that we get to see.
Anyway, the team news is about to come in... I bet it's been seven long days for Nottingham Forest fans. Nobody was expecting the Reds to get absolutely mullered, like the rice pot, away at Bournemouth last week. But my word, it was brutal. Nuno Espirito Santo's side just fell apart like chicken off the bone, shipping five at the Vitality Stadium. After the season they have had that would have really hurt Forest, but today they have the chance to put it right.
Prior to last week, they were unbeaten in eight games, so you can't say they are in bad form. They just have to make sure it was a little bump in the road and nothing more than that. Today they face a Brighton side who also saw their unbeaten streak come to an end on the same day. It's going to be by no means a straightforward afternoon for Forest, but come on, you'd probably expect them to win today.
If they don't, worry will start to creep in. The Premier League, oh how we have missed you!. Don't get me wrong, I had the time of my life covering European football this week. It was a real hoot. But still, I just love domestic football in this country. In the past, Nottingham Forest hosting Brighton was not a game that would get me excited. I mean, I'm not sure it had that impact on anybody. But today is a different story, and I am not just saying that to play it up. These two teams are actually extremely good to watch, so we are in for a cracker.
