Chris Sutton backs striker to make difference as he makes Nottingham Forest vs Fulham prediction

Chris Sutton feels Nottingham Forest will lose their five-game unbeaten league run when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage this weekend.

Forest head to the capital looking to build on their 1-0 win over Leeds United. Fulham, on the other hand, are winless in their last three league games, having held Chelsea to a goalless draw last time out.

Marco Silva's side came away winners the last time the two sides met at the City Ground in September, and Sutton believes the Whites will make it two wins out of two.

"They beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 at the City Ground in September but Forest have improved since then," Sutton wrote in his BBC Sport column. "Steve Cooper's side have had some good results in recent weeks to climb up the table but I am going with Fulham to edge this one and end a run of three league games without a win or a goal.

"Aleksandar Mitrovic has not scored in any of his past three league starts, or when he came off the bench in either FA Cup game against Sunderland, but I am going to be quite exact and say he will find the net here."

Sutton prediction: Fulham 2-1 Nottingham Forest.
