Both the battle to avoid for relegation and the race for Europe will take another twist tonight when Nottingham Forest take on Brighton.
After 11 league games without a win, Steve Cooper's side lie 19th in the table and in desperate need of a win. The 3-2 defeat at Anfield on Sunday signified a competitive display, but it's points, not plaudits, that Forest desperately need now to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
But the Seagulls will also be hell bent on three points, albeit for different reasons. Roberto De Zerbi's side are no longer a surprise package, they lie eighth with games in hand on those above them, and have Europa League qualification in their grasp. And with a resurgent Liverpool, one point and one place above them, at West Ham tonight, maintaining momentum is vital.
