Sunderland lost last week, in an absolute thriller against Aston Villa, but the way they fought back in that game kind of summed up why they have had such a good season.
>They kept having a go and got back from 3-1 to 3-3 in the final few minutes before Villa's last-gasp winner.
>Forest got in the goals last time out too, scoring four against Burnley, but this game feels like it will be far tighter and quite cagey.
>A draw would be a decent result for Forest in the circumstances, with them sitting five points above Spurs, who are in the final relegation place.
>Vitor Pereira's side have been tough to beat recently - they have not lost any of their past seven games and they have been good on the road too.
>Even so, I have a sneaky feeling Sunderland will find a way of winning this one at home, and leave Forest with a bit more work to do.
