Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher deliver Nottingham Forest relegation verdict

Both Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have predicted that Nottingham Forest will go down at the end of the season as they name their bottom three.

Forest are set to drop back into the relegation zone by the end of the day following a late loss against Brentford on Saturday. The result between Leicester City and Everton will determine who goes above them on Monday (8pm kick-off).

The fight for survival is realistically between six clubs for the bottom three places. Speaking before the weekend’s loss, both Neville and Carragher named Forest as one of the teams in their bottom three.

Brennan Johnson sends four-word message to injured Nottingham Forest man

Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson has sent a message to teammate Neco Williams as he recovers from injury.

Forest plan set out as Reds 'face up to' crucial Southampton clash

Head coach Steve Cooper says Nottingham Forest are not aiming for a specific points target in their battle to avoid the drop.

The Reds have “an idea” of what might be required to finish above the dotted line as they fight to retain their Premier League status. But that can change week to week, depending how results go.

With four games left, Cooper’s team are in 17th spot on 30 points. However, having let a lead slip to fall to defeat at Brentford on Saturday, they will drop back into the relegation zone tonight regardless of the outcome of the clash between Leicester City and Everton.

Danilo injury update emerges after Nottingham Forest blow

Danilo is reportedly set to miss Nottingham Forest's next two games after suffering an injury against Brentford.

The Brazilian had to be substituted off in the second half, leaving Forest down to 10 men for the final minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium. Danilo had initially tried to carry on after going down but was later forced to make way off the pitch.

Head coach Steve Cooper said after the game: "Danilo is a fantastic athlete, very fit and resilient. He was the one guy we weren't worried about keeping the effort levels for the whole game, so to see him go down and come off was just something we didn't expect."

Mangala, Yates, Johnson - Nottingham Forest predicted XI for must-win Southampton showdown

There’s no getting away from how big a game it is for Nottingham Forest at the City Ground next Monday.

That means some tough selection decisions for head coach Steve Cooper. And he may also have to factor in a couple of fresh injury concerns from Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Brentford.

Dean Henderson faces Man Utd transfer uncertainty after Nottingham Forest loan

A thigh injury could reportedly impact a possible permanent move from Manchester United for goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

The England man has been out of action since suffering a thigh tear in the closing stages of the 2-0 win over Leicester City back in January. It was initially thought that the player would be out for four to six weeks, but he remains on the sidelines.

After the injury, Forest moved to bring in reinforcements, signing Keylor Navas on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day in January. The experienced stopper has been first choice for the side since arriving, pulling off a number of impressive saves.

Danilo, Lingard, Shelvey - Nottingham Forest signings rated as transfer business in spotlight

Nerves are getting frayed as Nottingham Forest approach their final four games of the season.

The Reds' Premier League status remains very much in the balance following Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Brentford. Steve Cooper's side know they really need to bounce back with a victory over bottom club Southampton next Monday.

There are a number of factors why Forest find themselves in this position - not least because it is incredibly tough for any newly-promoted side, let alone one which as had to cope with a significant injury list and underwent a squad overhaul last summer. But transfer business has come under particular scrutiny, given the mixed success of the signings made.
