There are four games for our viewing pleasure in the EPL on Sunday, one of which sees Nottingham Forest play host to Southampton. The Saints are struggling, sure, and they're almost certainly heading back down to the Championship, but they delivered their most encouraging effort for a while at Old Trafford on Thursday night, creating plenty and putting up a decent fight. After that effort, can the visitors go to City Ground and make any headway against the team that remains the closest challengers to league leaders Liverpool? We'll soon find out.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Southampton Prediction

This is going to be a tough game for the Saints, make absolutely not mistake about that. The Tricky Trees are easily one of the EPL's hardest teams to face right now, but after an encouraging and more front-footed display at Old Trafford during the week, we shouldn't be massively surprised to see the visitors at least try and force the issue offensively. From a betting point of view, the dynamic, direct and hugely promising Tyler Dibling, who at just 18 years of age has been Southampton's best player this season, looks very generously priced to register a shot on target. The forward looked very hungry against Manchester United in the week, taking four shots, hitting the target twice, while he's now taken 11 shots in his last four games. Odds of +180 are too good to ignore. Our Pick: Tyler Dibling Over 0.5 Shots on Target. 

Prediction:

 

Tyler Dibling Over 0.5 Shots on Target
