Talk of Nottingham Forest pushing for European football is growing stronger with every passing game as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side maintain their excellent form.
The Reds will spend Christmas in the Premier League’s top four after making it three wins on the bounce with victory over Brentford. Goals from Ola Aina and Anthony Elanga on Saturday saw Forest triumph 2-0 and become the first team to inflict defeat on the Bees at the Gtech Community Stadium this term.
Nuno is determined to keep his squad’s feet on the ground but fans are beginning to dream about what might be possible in 2025. Below, we take a look at how the Reds’ next five games compare to the upcoming Premier League schedule for their nearest rivals.
