Big chance for Fulham to get a goal back as Marc Guehi's clearing header falls to Harry Wilson, who quickly passes to Raul Jimenez inside the box and striker squares for a tap in for Emile Smith Rowe but it is agonisingly just out of the midfielder's reach.

A coming together between Emi Martinez and Jan Paul van Hecke following a Brighton corner. Lots of pushing and barging which results in each player being booked.

Danny Welbeck, James Milner and Tyrone Mings all play the role of peacemakers as things threaten to get out of control.

Lorenzo Lucca finally has the ball in the back of the Wolves net. It's ruled out by an offside flag.

Tyrick Mitchell's cross deflects off Kyle Walker and goes behind for a Crystal Palace corner.

Endo does not worry me [at full-back]. Is he capable? Yes, of course he is. Is it his best position? No. Has he got limitations there? Yes. He will be asked a couple of questions tonight.

What's the record for first half attempts in the Premier League?

Forest have had 15 with around 10 minutes to go until half-time.

Meanwhile, Elliot Anderson is fortunate to escape a booking after a late challenge.

Long way to go in the title race yet but could goal difference play a factor somewhere down the line?

Arsenal lie three points ahead with a GD of +32, City are in second place on +29.

Racking up a big scoreline here will help close that gap.

The Liverpool fans seem to have had enough of Arne Slot, which again makes no sense to me. Just because they aren't going to win the title again doesn't mean they aren't building anything.

It seems that making the Champions League places is like the title used to be now - as in, if you don't make the Champions League then the manager has got to go. It drives me potty.

I know Sunderland lost at Arsenal on Saturday but I still enjoyed their performance.

That might sound odd because they were beaten 3-0 but I still thought the Black Cats were competitive, and they were really physical too. They matched Arsenal for long spells of the game.

So, Liverpool will know what to expect when they try to become the first team to win at Stadium of Light this season, and this is going to be a very difficult game for them.

Slot needs a positive result here, for Liverpool to keep in touch with the teams above them in the race for the top four. My only concern about Sunderland is whether they can bring that same physicality again, but I still don't think Liverpool will win.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

What an unbelievable professional but person as well.

We've talked about it so much over these last few weeks waiting for him to equal this record, I'm so made up for him.

He'll probably play this down massively because he's that type of person where it doesn’t really matter if you've made 653 appearances in the Premier League, it's just another game, that's how he has approached his whole career.

Wolves should be 3-0 down but Forest's finishing has been so poor that the Premier League's bottom club are still on level terms.

Another chance for Lorenzo Lucca but he cannot make a clean connection.

Zian Flemming has a go at goal as Burnley look to level, but he fires over from a decent position.

Ambitious by Amadou Onana from outside the box and it sails over Bart Verbruggen's bar. Brighton are limiting the hosts to pot shots from outside the box.

Sunderland have not beaten the Reds in 11 Premier League meetings, since a 1-0 home win 14 years ago, but all three of Liverpool's Premier League losses in this fixture have come away from home.

Manchester City look in the mood for a big win here as they come forward again, this time Nico O'Reilly's shot deflected behind for another corner for the hosts.

That's so poor!

A golden chance for Lorenzo Lucca to mark his first Forest start with a goal but the 6ft 7in Italian instead finds Row Z after a wild attempt.

Sean Dyche won't be impressed with that finishing.

Forest should be ahead.
