Last week\u2019s devastating 99th-minute defeat to Liverpool was a big blow to Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>With only 11 games left in the Premier League campaign, the Reds are running out of time to find valuable wins in their fight for survival. Add to this the fact that Forest have begun their defence against the Premier League this week for breaking Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), which will almost certainly result in a points deduction when the verdict from the hearing is made public in April.<\/p>\n<p>The away game at Brighton provides an opportunity &#8211; for Forest to get their season back on track and pull clear of the relegation zone. The current gap to Luton Town in 18th is four points, and the two sides meet at Kenilworth Road next week. Here is Last Word on Football\u2019s Nottingham Forest predicted lineup ahead of the match on March 10.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup vs Brighton<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Building up to Brighton \ud83d\udcaa <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mIXdanqTy5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/mIXdanqTy5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Nottingham Forest (@NFFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFFC\/status\/1766421385662845324?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Nottingham Forest Have Lined Up Recently\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Matz Sels made some notable saves in the 1-0 loss against Liverpool and will start again on Sunday. He will be looking to get his second clean sheet in a Forest shirt against Brighton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Neco Williams was awarded Player of the Month for February by Forest. The former Liverpool right-back has been a consistent performer in recent weeks, solidifying his place in the starting 11 in the absence of Gonzalo Montiel, who has been sidelined with an injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Earlier this week, Felipe announced that he would be retiring from football at the end of the season. He was left out of the team against Liverpool, with Andrew Omobamidele coming in and impressing against a dangerous Liverpool attack. He is expected to start again at centre-back alongside the talented Murillo. Harry Toffolo will also retain his place at left-back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/02\/27\/nottingham-forest-psr-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018Big Moment\u2019: Premier League Status In Jeopardy As Nottingham Forest Defend PSR Breaches<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ryan Yates and Nico Dominguez put in a tireless display against Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side. Dominguez came off with a knock in the 79th minute and was replaced by Danilo. Yates has been a vital figure in away games for the Tricky Trees and looks set to play as one of the two midfielders in front of the defence. Forest\u2019s record signing Ibrahim Sangar\u00e9 was on the bench against Liverpool &#8211; and Nuno might be tempted to reinstate the Ivorian midfielder to the starting lineup for the first time since the away win against Newcastle on Boxing Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Divock Origi, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Callum Hudson-Odoi started in front of the two defensive midfielders against Liverpool. Origi has started the last two games on the right wing, providing an assist for Gibbs-White against Aston Villa. Anthony Elanga started as the striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Liverpool, but it is anticipated that Taiwo Awoniyi will return to the starting lineup against Brighton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Watch:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The Domino Effect Ruining Football<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE DOMINO EFFECT RUINING FOOTBALL\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fNQxiqia1Vo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nottingham Forest\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Forest\u2019s recent positive performances have not been rewarded with results.

Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s team have struggled for form recently, losing their last three matches by an aggregate score of 8-0. This includes Thursday night\u2019s 4-0 defeat to AS Roma in the UEFA Europa League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The quick turnaround from the away match in Rome may help Forest, but Brighton sit 9th, only three points off a European spot &#8211; so they will be vying for the three points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Forest fans will be wary that in the reverse fixture at the City Ground, Brighton won 3-2, which was their first win in eight Premier League matches. Last time out, Forest kick-started Seagulls\u2019 season, so the question is: will they do it again?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nottingham Forest Injuries to Consider\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nuno was defiant in his press conference on Friday, expressing the need to \u201cmove forward\u201d in the wake of last week\u2019s controversial defeat to Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Portuguese manager did provide a positive update on the fitness of the Nigerian striker. He said: \u201cHe is closer. Everybody knows what happened with Taiwo, he was out for a long time with injury and then started playing more than he should have due to the circumstances of the squad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHe is improving. The decision of not starting him in the previous game, in the FA Cup, in mind as he played 90 minutes and had a short period of recovery.
