Nottingham Forest lineup vs Brighton: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Sean Dyche set to miss 20-goal striker

Nottingham Forest’s quest to climb up the Premier League table faces its next challenge when Brighton & Hove Albion visit the City Ground on Sunday, November 30. 

New manager Sean Dyche will not have the club’s top goalscorer from last season, Chris Wood, as the New Zealander is nursing a knee injury. 

Two of the goalscorers from last weekend’s 3-0 humbling of Liverpool, Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo, are serious doubts for this clash, with the former not playing in the Europa League against Malmo and the latter having to be subbed off due to an injury. 

After giving way to John Victor in European competition, Matz Sels should feature between the sticks again this weekend. 

In front of him, Nicolo Savona will likely keep his place after scoring the second against the Reds last week and having a rest on Thursday. 

Nikola Milenkovic, Neco Williams and Morato are likely the others to complete the defensive lineup for Dyche. 

The engine room will remain the same, with Ibrahim Sangare and Elliot Anderson dictating play while halting the opposition’s attack. 

Dan Ndoye and Nicolas Dominguez feature on the wings, with James McAtee sitting behind Igor Jesus to hopefully be the creative spark. 

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: 

Sels; Savona, Milenkovic, Morato, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Ndoye, McAtee, Dominguez; Igor Jesus
