Chris Sutton taunts Nottingham Forest fans before making Bournemouth prediction

Chris Sutton has aimed a dig at Nottingham Forest fans but is backing their side to get back to winning ways against Bournemouth this weekend.

Steve Cooper's side welcome Gary O'Neil's side to the City Ground looking to get their campaign back on track. The Reds have fallen to expected defeats to Tottenham and Manchester City in the last week to leave them 15th in the table.

The fixture is the first game since the transfer slammed shut on Thursday, meaning recent signings Willy Boly and Loic Bade could make their Reds debut.

After correctly predicting Pep Guardiola's side to put six past Forest on Wednesday evening, Nottingham-born Sutton has claimed Cooper's side will edge the contest against the Cherries.

"I got a fair bit of stick for predicting a 6-0 defeat by Manchester City in midweek but there's a few Forest fans wiping egg off their faces and eating a bit of humble pie. City are capable of doing that to anybody," he told BBC Sport.

"Forest have signed more than 20 players, which is remarkable. It is about how they bed in against a Bournemouth team who dug deep against Wolves. I am still worried who will score the goals for Bournemouth and I think Forest at home will edge this."

The former Blackburn Rovers striker has predicted a 1-0 victory for Forest.
