Nottingham Forest moved out of the Premier League relegation zone on Wednesday night after beating Brighton 3-1 at the City Ground.
Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Danilo as well as a Brighton own goal have helped to ease the Reds' relegation worries. But the battle to stay in the top flight is far from over with five games left.
Realistically, Leicester City, Everton, Southampton and Leeds are the teams that Steve Cooper's side will have to finish above if they are to avoid dropping down to the Championship next season. Bournemouth and West Ham are also hovering above the bottom three but have points buffers.
