'Written all over it': Chris Sutton can only see one outcome as he predicts the Forest vs Fulham score

Yesterday at 07:53 AM

Nottingham Forest will be looking to keep their unbeaten start to the season going when they take on Fulham this weekend.

Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side will be coming up against a Fulham side who are on the back of an impressive victory over Newcastle United last weekend.

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

Three of those points even came away to Liverpool which was backed up by a solid point on the road last weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Forest are going to be without their star man in Morgan Gibbs-White this weekend following his red card picked up against the Seagulls.

And with that in mind, Chris Sutton thinks there is only going to be one result to pan out at the City Ground.

Chris Sutton shares his prediction for Nottingham Forest vs Fulham

Gibbs-White is going to be absent on Saturday for the game against Fulham but that does not mean the Reds are going to be short of areas.

Marco Silva has already admitted he is wary of the talent Elliot Anderson possesses with the midfielder potentially stepping in for Forest’s number 10.

But with Gibbs-White out, Sutton is expecting the two sides to play out what would be yet another draw at the City Ground.

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

“Nottingham Forest will miss the suspended Morgan Gibbs-White, which is a bit of a blow for them.
This is going to be a good game, but it has draw written all over it.”

Nottingham Forest need to get a win on the board at home

So far this season, Forest’s only two wins have both come on the road away to Southampton and Liverpool.

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

And Forest will be facing a very evenly-matched side in Fulham with the Cottagers sat just one point and one place behind them in the table.

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