‘Written all over it’ :Chris Sutton is convinced he knows what the result will be when Nottingham Forest face Fulham on Saturday

Nottingham Forest will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the season when they host Fulham this weekend.

   Nuna Espirito Santo’s side will face Fulham after an impressive win over Newcastle United last weekend.

   But Forest have proved to be one of the surprises of the Premier League this season with nine points from their first five games.

   Three of those points even came from Liverpool, who were backed up by a solid point away to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

   Forest will be without their star man Morgan Gibbs-White this weekend after he was sent off against the Seagulls.

   With that in mind, Chris Sutton believes a knock at the City Ground will be just the result.

   Gibbs-White will be out for Saturday’s game against Fulham, but that doesn’t mean the Reds will be short of space.

   Marco Silva has already admitted he is wary of the talent Elliot Anderson possesses, as the midfielder could step into Forest’s No.10 spot.

   But with Gibbs-White out, Sutton expects both sides to play out what would be another draw at the City Ground.

   “I like Fulham at home but I’m not sure I like them as much away from home,” Sutton told BBC Sport.

   “Nottingham Forest will be without the suspended Morgan Gibbs-White, which is a huge blow for them.
   It will be a good match, but it says draw.”

   Nottingham Forest must win on the board at home

   So far this season, Forest’s only two wins have come away at Southampton and Liverpool.

   This weekend, fans will be hoping the Reds get their first home win of the season.

   And Forest will meet a very evenly matched side at Fulham, with the Cottagers just a point and a place behind them in the table.

   Maintaining their unbeaten status is important, but a win for Forest would certainly make a real statement and could propel the Reds into the top four.
