Brighton will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
After a bright start to their Premier League campaign, which included a win over Manchester United, the Seagulls hit a roadblock as they played out back-to-back draws against Arsenal and Ipswich Town.
However, they come into Sunday’s clash on the back of a 3-2 win over the Wolves that saw them advance to the next round of League Cup.
Nottingham Forest are high on confidence after pulling off a surprise 1-0 victory over Liverpool in their previous league game.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Brighton vs. Nottingham Forest Prediction
Brighton won both home and away against Nottingham Forest last season, therefore they have a psychological edge going into this match.
However, both sides have had very similar starts to their Premier League campaigns this time around. Brighton have found it tough to break down defenses and Nottingham’s strength is their backline. Therefore, we could see a scrappy draw.
- Prediction: Brighton 0-0 Nottingham Forest
