Bournemouth vs Liverpool - 3pm
A real surprise this one isn't on the television this weekend - but that's good news for us 3pm lovers!
The Cherries arrive here in fine order, having thumped Newcastle 4-1 and Forest 5-0 in their last two games.
A win COULD take them into the top four and be a real statement. Though they've already beaten Manchester City and Arsenal at home this season...
For Arne Slot's Reds, he was able to rest many of his top players in Europe on Wednesday and they could move nine points clear at the top.
With Arsenal playing Man City tomorrow, it could be a crucial weekend in the hunt for the title.
12 - GOAL DETAIL: Nottm Forest 1-0 Brighton
A good move from Forest and they have the early lead.
Gibbs-White is found with a clever pass over the top and down the Brighton left.
He has all the time in the world to drive into the box from the right and his ball across the six-yard box - looking for Wood - is helped into the back of his own net by Dunk.
Nuno elated as he was looking for a response to last week's humiliation. Dunk not so thrilled as he punches the turf.
12 - GOAL!! NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-0 Brighton
It's an own goal by the Seagulls skipper, Lewis Dunk!
12 - Nottm Forest 0-0 Brighton
Welbeck fouls Anderson on the touch-line in front of the dugouts and now he's shown a yellow card.
Referee just evening things up there...
7 - Nottm Forest 0-0 Brighton
A real end-to-end, fast paced start to this game.
The attacking players especially seeing plenty of the ball with Mitoma looking sharp.
Rutter picks the ball up in the middle of the park and turns to run at the Forest back line only for Murillo to drag him to ground. He's shown a very early yellow card.
Bottom half
And the bottom half, with the relegation zone even more exciting with the fact Everton host Leicester and Southampton travel ti Ipswich!
How might Wolves' position look come 5.30 when they host Aston Villa....

Pre-match view of Phil Thomas at the City Ground
Twelve months ago Forest were two points off the bottom three...now the only danger is vertigo, after a total turnaround that will see them go level on points with second-placed Arsenal if they beat Brighton.
I wouldn’t say Nuno Espirito Santo is a miracle worker, but you wouldn’t believe what I’ve just seen him do with five loaves and a couple of fishes.
