Gabby Agbonlahor delivers Nottingham Forest relegation verdict with Leeds United blast

Gabby Agbonlahor believes Nottingham Forest will be relegated from the Premier League this season.

Steve Cooper's side currently sit two points from safety in the bottom three as they endure an 11-game winless run. The Reds last tasted victory in a 1-0 win over Leeds at the City Ground in February.

Forest have six games left to secure their top-flight status for next season as they host Brighton Wednesday night. Their other five fixtures come against Brentford, Southampton, Chelsea and Arsenal before ending the season away at Crystal Palace.

And Agbonlahor does not like the Reds' chances of staying up, as he backs them to drop back down to the Championship after just one season in the Premier League. He predicts Southampton and Leeds will join them in English football's second tier.

"I have Southampton bottom, then Forest, then Leeds," he told talkSPORT. "I just look at Leeds, the amount of goals they concede. They've conceded 63 goals this season, joint with Bournemouth no clean sheets since 25th February, it's been 10 games.

"Their next game is Bournemouth away. Bournemouth look strong. Then it's Man City away, Newcastle at home, West Ham away, Tottenham at home. That's three points at home against Spurs because they'll be on the beach probably. But you look at that and I don't think they'll get enough points.

"Then you look at Leicester, Everton at home I think they can win that one, Fulham away, they look like they are on the beach, so that's two wins for Leicester. Liverpool at home, they could get a draw, Newcastle away you would say they will lose and then West Ham at home so I think Leicester's fixtures are more favourable than Leeds."
