"Forest travel to bottom-club Southampton in a key fixture at the bottom of the table on Wednesday. Image source, Getty ImagesThis will be the first meeting between Southampton and Nottingham Forest in any competition since the 2011-12 Championship campaign, when Saints won home and away. This match will see two Welsh managers (Nathan Jones and Steve Cooper) face in a Premier League match for only the 20th time, and first time since August 2017, when Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes shared a 1-1 draw as managers of West Brom and Stoke respectively. Southampton have won their last two games against Nottingham Forest in all competitions, as many as they had in their previous 17 (D4 L11).
"Forest should be proud of what they achieved second half. It will allow them to get a platform going forward in the rest of the season. "A draw at home against Chelsea will give them confidence and in the second half if they won the game it wouldn’t have surprised me, I thought they were excellent. Steve Cooper will be delighted with this point. "Hear more from 18'05 on BBC SoundsStill yet to catch up on all the action from Sunday's two Premier League fixtures?

The point earned, which was thoroughly deserved, was the first they have taken this season after going behind.
When Raheem Sterling volleyed Chelsea ahead in the 16th minute it would have been easy for Forest to capitulate and the City Ground to go quiet. The opposite happened. The crowed rallied, in part because of frustration towards referee Peter Bankes. Manager Steve Cooper has said they intend to buy in the January transfer market, but he may be finding his best 11 and a way of playing. Brennan Johnson and Taiwo Awoniyi caused Chelsea problems down the channels throughout the game, but it was a similar tale with quality lacking in the final action to win the game. Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper speaking to BBC Match of the Day:В "Don't take fans for granted, earn their support week in week out.
Both teams are desperate for a win to climb out of the relegation zone, but it's hard to make a case for either of them to come out on top - I'm going for a draw.

Read Tuesday's full gossip columnWe asked for your views after Sunday's game between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea at the City Ground. Here are some of your thoughts:Nottingham Forest fans:Ray: Developing well as a team but I would like to see them being more positive when going forward.
They last won three in a row against Forest in January 1984. Steve Cooper’s first eight away Premier League matches with Nottingham Forest has seen them score just once, the fewest goals ever scored in a manager’s first eight away Premier League games. Forest have also conceded 22 goals in these games, the most in a manager’s first eight away games since Jan Siewert in 2019 with Huddersfield (24 conceded). Loic Bade is heading back to Rennes after Forest terminated his loan deal.
With greater belief they will definitely stay up. Tony: Forest played very well and deserved a draw against Chelsea. In Cooper they have a good manager who I feel will guide them to Premier League survival this season. Ryan: Forest are improving quickly and playing stylish football. They will stay up, I’m sure of it. Chelsea fans:Kevin: No idea, negative and only look to pass the ball backwards.
"We need to raise it no matter where we go and Southampton is a good opportunity for us to try to change that. After a good performance [against Chelsea] we can take confidence going into the next game. "It is massive and we all know that, but we know at the same time it is going to take a good performance to beat them. We don’t just rock up there and get anything for free, it’s going to be tough because any game in the Premier League is tough. "We are going to have to take that performance into the next game and be really clinical as well. You need a bit of everything for the perfect performance away from home but it’s the belief you need to win away from home.
"Something that we have lacked this season is not getting points away but hopefully we can take this belief into the next game as well. "Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Premier League midfielder Charlie Adam says Nottingham Forest should take confidence from their 1-1 draw with Chelsea and try to build momentum from it. He told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily: "Nottingham Forest have got to take that second-half performance into the rest of the season. "Especially on Wednesday Night away to Southampton, they need to keep that energy, keep that momentum that they showed second half.
Nottingham Forest - BBC SportFor the latest round of Premier League predictions, Chris Sutton is up against Cian McCluskey, drummer with Irish indie band ModernloveВ and a Liverpool fan.

No vision, no creativity and frightened to run at the opponents. Another Chelsea manager on borrowed time. Tony: Same as under Tuchel - no pace, no sense of urgency, 18, 000 sideways passes, nobody getting the ball in midfield and actually running with it to open up the opposition. Mike: My thoughts are that Potter has turned a reasonable side into a poor one. He is not up to the task. Neal: This is the first time in many seasons where I have genuine concerns. The manager has not established any new ideas or strategies and we are currently a mid-table side at best with no real hope of anything else.
Image source, Getty ImagesSteve Cooper has vowed to do all that is needed to improve Nottingham Forest's dire away form. Forest have two draws to show from eight games on the road since returning to the Premier League - form that has contributed to them sitting 18th in the table. Cooper has seen his side score just once in those games, the fewest goals ever scored in a manager’s first eight away Premier League games. Forest have also conceded 22 goals in these matches, the most in a manager’s first eight away games since Jan Siewert in 2019 with Huddersfield. Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham, Cooper said: "One of your questions will be about improving away form and rightly so. We need to do that, let's tackle it head on, let's not swerve questions.
But Nottingham Forest are the top-flight team with the worst record on the road - they have picked up only two points from eight away games, and scored only once. Forest were great at home to Chelsea on Sunday and deserved to beat them but, for some reason, don't seem able to play that way away from the City Ground.
"Let's say 'we have got to get better at our away form'. "All of the things we need to improve on we're going to do that, we're going to deal with it head on and then in the end we're in control. "Cooper also confirmed midfielder Jesse Lingard will face a spell on the sidelines, stating: "He's out for a month with a hamstring injury. A blow for everybody, him and us. It's done now and he's in his recovery.
What’s more encouraging is the fact that a win was highly attainable for us. After a painfully long interval from the City Ground, the Reds’ return was strong, sturdy and resolute. A nervy first half gave way to a rapid, cohesive second half brimming with tactical skill. A show of team spirit couldn’t have been any more evident than Serge Aurier’s goal celebration as he ran to hug Dean Henderson, ensuring he was included. One point and one place further up the table is all we could have asked for. With just a handful of points separating us from mid-table, maintaining this level of consistency and progression fuels our beliefs. A Gustavo Scarpa debut on Wednesday when we face the Saints could potentially increase our chances of conquering a вЂwinnable’ game.
The forward hopes Steve Cooper's side can build on the momentum from the impressive 1-1 draw against Chelsea when they take on the league's bottom side. He told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We are no strangers, we know our away form hasn’t been good enough this season. We haven’t picked up any wins yet and not many points.
