Two of the Premier League’s in-form sides go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon as Brighton & Hove Albion host Nottingham Forest.
The beginning of the Fabian Hurzeler era has been overwhelmingly positive to date, even if a frustrating draw with newly-promoted Ipswich Town felt like a wasted opportunity. However, after beating Manchester United and drawing with Arsenal already this term, Brighton secured their spot in the Carabao Cup fourth round midweek after a dramatic win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The south coast side are unbeaten under their young German manager but they will be tested by the surprise package of the opening weeks of the 2024/25 season this Sunday.
Nottingham Forest are making the trip south as they look to build on a mightily impressive victory over Liverpool last weekend. Callum Hudson-Odoi’s strike earned the Midlands side their first win at Anfield in 55 years and maintained their unbeaten Premier League record at the start of the new term.
Here is 90min’s guide to Brighton vs Nottingham Forest.
