Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Brighton and Hove Albion face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
The Seagulls are still in seventh despite three games without victory since Roberto De Zerbi took over as the replacement for Graham Potter, though perhaps only the 2-0 reversal at Brentford last time out would be a big disappointment from their perspective. They have not, however, scored since Leandro Trossard’s hat-trick at Anfield, so that’s one area to target an improvement in tonight.
Trying to keep them out is the league’s bottom club, with Forest having backed manager Steve Cooper with a new contract but now being badly in need of some positive results. A draw at home to Villa is their only point in the last six and even a win tonight won’t take them out the bottom three.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Brighton XI: Sanchez, Webster, Dunk, Veltman, March, Caicedo, Lallana, Mac Allister, Trossard, Gross, Welbeck

Brighton and Hove Albion are held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest in their Premier League clash at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls had a host of chances in the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net. Leandro Trossard struck the bar, while Pascal Gross saw a tame effort saved by Dean Henderson. Gross missed another good opportunity in the second half as the home side lacked a clinical edge to claim the three points. Forest barely threatened, but will be pleased to leave the south coast with a valuable point.

Steve Cooper's men need to be more proactive in the second half. They sat back and offered nothing in the final third themselves. Forest were at the mercy of Brighton's finishing and might not be so lucky in the second half if they maintain the same approach.

It is goalless at the break between Brighton and Nottingham Forest at the Amex Stadium. The home side have had a number of chances, but have not been able to break the deadlock. Leandro Trossard came closest when he struck the bar, while Pascal Gross should have done better with a close-range effort. Adam Webster and Joel Veltman have also fired efforts over the bar. It has been all Brighton, they just require a clinical edge in the second half.
