Nottingham Forest v Wolves predictions

Every club from 12th spot down in this season's Premier League are in the mix for relegation, meaning there will be plenty of early six-pointers on the cards in the coming weeks, including Nottingham Forest's clash with Wolves at the City Ground on Saturday.

Heading into the second half of February these Midlands outfits looked as if they would survive the drop but poor runs of form from both have dragged them into the battle at the bottom.

While Wolves have managed only one win in their last six Premier League games, Forest have gone winless in the same number of matches and there is now only a point separating the sides.

Forest have been stronger on their own patch this season but their home record is offset by a lengthy list of injuries, including Chris Wood, who was ruled out for the rest of the season on Thursday, so a draw looks the best bet in this one.

Key stat

These sides have drawn 14 Premier League games between them this season.

Probable teams

Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Navas; Williams, Felipe, Niakhate, Lodi; Yates, Shelvey; Dennis, Gibbs-White, Lingard; Awoniyi.

Wolves (4-2-3-1): Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; Neves, Lemina; Neto, Moutinho, Sarabia; Jimenez.
