Both still undefeated in the 2024-25 Premier League season, Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest endeavour to continue their eye-catching starts in Sunday’s clash at the Amex Stadium.
Neither side can be separated in terms of points with eight apiece after four games, although the Seagulls are one place better off in the embryonic rankings courtesy of a superior goal difference.
We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Forest have been nothing if not consistent in the final third so far this season, scoring exactly one goal in each of their five games so far, and there is every chance that streak could continue even at a ground where attacking proficiency has often eluded them.
After struggling to blow the Ipswich door down, even a refreshed Brighton side could come unstuck versus a Forest defence who magnificently held firm against Liverpool, and both sides’ unbeaten streaks could continue in an uneventful draw.

A battle of the behemoths headlines this weekend’s Premier League action, as last season’s top two – Manchester City and Arsenal – scrap it out in what is already a top-of-the-table showdown.
Both titans return to domestic duty on the back of goalless draws versus Italian opposition in the Champions League, as the Citizens were held by Inter Milan, while the Gunners needed more David Raya heroics to nab a point off of Atalanta BC.
We say: Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
Based off both teams’ toothless midweek performances, the absences of De Bruyne and Odegaard and the uneventful pair of meetings between them last season, some fans could be forgiven for resigning themselves to a dull watch in Sunday’s main event.
Unfortunately, we can envisage that exact scenario playing out once again at the Etihad. Haaland may be on fire domestically, but Arsenal’s back five is arguably one of the best on the planet right now, so another 0-0 seems inevitable.
