THE PREDICTION
Nottingham’s Forest’s Championship misery continued at the weekend as they were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Reading, leaving them hovering just above the bottom three. Chris Hughton’s side have not scored in their last five Championship matches and such a drought is a real head scratcher when you consider the attacking talent Forest have within their ranks. Norwich meanwhile, came from behind to beat Sheffield Wednesday in their most recent league game and also welcomed star striker Teemu Pukki back into the side following injury. Canaries head coach Daniel Farke still has a lengthy injury list to deal with, but his side with home advantage here should still have enough strength in depth to beat an out of form Forest side desperately low on confidence.
