Wolves v Nottingham Forest

Wolves vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Wolves will be looking to continue their recent resurgence under new manager Vítor Pereira on Monday night when they entertain high-flying Nottingham Forest at Molineux as the hosts possess a three-game unbeaten sequence which consists of two wins and a draw.

Nottingham Forest picked up a fifth win on the trot in the Premier League last Sunday when the Tricky Trees registered a solid 2-0 win away from home at Everton and the east midlands club could draw level on points with second placed Arsenal with all three points at Molineux on Monday night.

After being dealt four league defeats on the trot in the English top flight by the likes of Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham and Ipswich Town respectively, Wolves have staged something of a comeback under new boss Vítor Pereira as the west midlands club have subsequently collected back-to-back wins and a draw.

Recent victories against Leicester City and Manchester United in recent 3-0 and 2-0 wins respectively along with a point gained in the nation's capital courtesy of a 2-2 draw at Tottenham have helped lift Wolves out of the relegation zone in the Premier League table and into 16th place where they hold a one-point cushion over third from bottom club Ipswich Town.

Nottingham Forest will bring impressive momentum into this west versus east midlands clash at Molineux as the visitors have racked up five wins on the trot under their Portuguese manager Nuno Espírito Santo who will be facing his compatriot Vítor Pereira in the respective dug-outs on Monday night.

Recent victories gained over the likes of Manchester United, Aston Villa, Brentford, Tottenham and Everton respectively have thrust the Tricky Trees into contention for a possible top four finish in this season's Premier League campaign and an accompanying spot in the Champions League.

Having had to spend the majority of the previous two seasons in the lower reaches of the Premier League table and just happy to avoid relegation, Nottingham Forest fans have enjoyed an excellent season so far as their side have picked up 11 wins from their 19 matches so far this term.

Results away from home have also seen a vast improvement upon previous campaigns as Forest have collected six wins within their 10 away games to date.
