Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo spoke after today's win: "You know me. Now I'm thinking about Tuesday and the next training session.

"This is what is important, you know better than me, it doesn't mean anything now.

"We just have to keep going, keep going, keep going. It's a very long season ahead, every player is going to be needed.

"It is a positive moment. We worked very hard this week, this is what we are focused on. We have to work and work hard and improve much more.

On what has been done differently: "Nothing has changed since the beginning, we have to keep on going. Believe me, there is no other way. If you get distracted, football doesn't forgive you.

"I think the longer the team is together, the better the players will know each other, the options we have coming back, the group should be stronger and as time goes by the bond will grow.

"This is my belief."

Nottingham Forest vice-captain Ryan Yates speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after today's victory: "We were really getting into it at the end and we wanted more goals. Unfortunately mine didn't go in but we are delighted with today's work."

On whether pre-season with Nuno has helped Forest's start to the season: "He can really implement the ideas. There are many things that have gone into why we were doing well. I think the recruitment has been fantastic. We have kept the core together and we are doing really well.

"There are still things we can improve on. They are a tough opposition and they went down to 10 men which changed things but you can only beat what is in front of you."

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week 10 he takes on The Piano TV series winner Brad Kella.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

West Ham got a good result against Manchester United last week which will have done them a lot of good, but I still feel they were fortunate to win that game.

I'm not talking about their late penalty that gave them victory, more the fact United should have been out of sight by half-time. So, am I convinced the Hammers have turned things round under Julen Lopetegui? No, not at all.

In contrast, Nottingham Forest are flying and I really like the way they are playing this season - they have a nice balance to their team.

I was born in Nottingham and used to support Forest as a kid and, the way they are playing, I am going to go back to supporting them.

You can call me a fair weather fan if you want, but I like forests – I am a big fan of Sherwood on iPlayer too – and I like woods too, especially Chris Wood.

The 'Wood-chopper' is one of the most underrated strikers of the Premier League era. I am backing him to score again, and Forest to win again.

Brad's prediction: 1-0

Forest are doing well and they should win this.

Former winger Matt Jarvis and three-time Premier League winner Robert Huth have praised Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood's form and the revival of the old-fashioned centre-forward.

Speaking to Sportsworld on BBC World Service, Jarvis who described Wood as a "winger's dream" said: “I used to love having someone you could cross the ball into and someone who is going to go and get on the end of it.

"I think that's exactly what he has at Forest. He's got wingers he relies heavily on because he's not going to take the ball, take three or four people on and put it into the top corner. He's relying on people to put crosses into the box, and he's got [Anthony] Elanga and [Callum] Hudson-Odoi doing that for him.

“If you look back, since Nuno [Espírito Santo] took over as manager in December, I think only Haaland scored more goals which aren't penalties, which is an incredible stat.

"He's really hitting a great vein of form, he's enjoying himself and for me you can see they're enjoying themselves. They've got an opportunity to score goals, they've taken it and now they're riding that wave of enjoying the flow.

"They can feel the results are coming, and I think he's also having that run where he knows he's going to get chances in the game and if he's in the correct position he knows he can score goals. What a place to be in as a player.”

Huth added: “I used to hate playing against an old-school number nine. I probably played against one of the best in [Didier] Drogba and Alan Shearer, you knew in the game, you knew the ball was going to come in the box and you’re having to defend.

“I actually had Woody [Chris Wood] when I was at Leicester when he first came through, so I know exactly what he's like. He's always been a great finisher and always had really good movement in the box, but as the game developed into a different direction with a false number nine, he didn't probably get the chance at other Premier League clubs that he should have had.”
