Pundit Chris Sutton believes Nottingham Forest "have enough to survive" in the Premier League this season.
The former Celtic man has delivered his Premier League relegation predictions with five games to go, and as Forest prepare to face Brentford this afternoon (Saturday).
Forest are in a relegation battle with the likes of Southampton, Leicester, Everton and Leeds - promising a tense ending to the season. Sutton has backed Forest to be one of the teams that beats the drop.

"There is something about Forest that tells me they have enough to survive," he wrote in the Daily Mail. "They are a spirited bunch.
"I am saying they will beat Southampton 2-1 at the City Ground and I even predict they will nab 1-1 draws against Chelsea and Arsenal."
Sutton has tipped Forest to lose 2-0 to Brentford today (Saturday), but recover with a 2-1 win over Southampton at the City Ground. He has then predicted shock 1-1 draws against Chelsea and Arsenal, before a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on the final day. That would give Forest five points from a possible 15, making their potential end-of-season tally 35 points.
How many points do you think Forest can get in their last five games? Let us know in the comments.
