Resurgent Nottingham Forest face a tricky test at the City Ground on Sunday, as they host in-form Brighton in an intriguing looking Premier League clash. 

Before last month's appointment of Sean Dyche as manager, Forest looked doomed to relegation. However, a run of two wins and a draw in their last three games has moved the two time European champions out of the relegation zone and reignited belief at the City Ground. 

That improved form will be put to the test on Sunday against a Brighton side flying high in sixth place. The Seagulls came from behind to defeat Brentford 2-1 last weekend and maintain their unbeaten record at the Amex Stadium this season. Their form on the road has not been quite as impressive, but the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace in their last Premier League away game demonstrated the Seagulls' resilience and Forest face a tough task if they want to make it three league wins in a row.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Prediction

This is an incredibly tricky game to predict. Forest look reborn under Sean Dyche, whilst Fabian Hürzeler has made Brighton an extremely tough side to beat. 

As such, we are steering clear of the moneyline markets for this game and instead turning our attention to Seagulls striker Danny Welbeck. The former England striker is on fire at the moment, and is averaging a goal a game over the last two months. 

Given Forest's somewhat flimsy defence, we think there is every chance that Welbeck will add to his impressive goal tally on Sunday. 

Our prediction for Notts Forest vs Brighton and Hove Albion is: Danny Welbeck to score. 

Prediction:

 

Danny Welbeck to score
