Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy says Nottingham Forest will be relegated from the Premier League.
Forest slipped into the relegation zone after the 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa and former Liverpool midfielder Murphy feels they will now stay there for the rest of the season.
"That's nine without a win. I've watched them a couple of times recently," he said. "They're not creating enough chances to win games and their performance level isn't good enough.

"I think they're going to struggle to get out the bottom three the way they're playing. I don't see them staying up. They don't have enough firepower."
Bertrand Traore capitalised on a terrible error from Jonjo Shelvey to open the scoring early in the second half.
Murphy's fellow pundit, Alan Shearer praised the winger, who also got the winner in Villa's previous game against Leicester City.
"Bertrand Traore, recalled in January in Turkey, came on as substitute in midweek, got a bit of a little helping hand from Leicester and Wilfred Ndidi, but can't take anything away from the strike.
"What a finish that was, great passing to him in midweek. Then he comes on today and gets another helping hand from the opposition. This time, Jonjo Shelvey, he did really well down the right-hand side, whips the ball in, thank you very much.
"Same side, and a bit closer in. What a job. Unbeaten in seven Aston Villa now, won six, drawn one. Fantastic and a big one next week against Newcastle."
