    "Don't go breaking my heart".

    The trial club to The Backstreet Boys when they quit, probably.

    I think you’ll find all of The Backstreet Boys were football trialists until they "Quit Playing Games" in 1996.

    After their latest win in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest fans are now daring to dream about a return to Europe for the first time since the 1995-96 season, with Champions League qualification now a realistic possibility.

    They are five points above fifth-placed Newcastle, six ahead of Manchester City.

    "It would be absolutely incredible," said midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, who scored Forest's opener against his former club.

    "There will be a few fans who might be able to experience it twice. To be able to give them that opportunity again is what we really want to do as a club.

    "The owner believes in it, we believe in it. We just have to take it game by game and not get ahead of ourselves. Stay calm and stay humble."

    Thanks Roberto, a fine suggestion.

    It would be great if we could squeeze out a football connection.

    Gibbs-White (Everything's Alright), maybe?

    I think ‘Uptight (Everything’s Alright)’ should be next in the playlist. Can’t beat a bit of Motown.

    Nottingham Forest can cause Liverpool problems. I would expect that Liverpool will try and take the game away and have more possession. We know Forest accept that.

    The difference with what we saw against Wolves is that if Liverpool did leave themselves one v one or two v two, they have got players who can cope with that situation. They are still the only team to beat Liverpool so that will be a really good game.

    If they beat Liverpool they are in the title race and they are the only team to beat Liverpool.

    What I would say right now is if Champions League goes to the top five positions, they have got a hell of a chance.

    Haha, love it Arwel!

    It seems that way at the mo. Chris Wood has 18 goals in 25 appearances for Forest and New Zealand this season.

    With so many attacking options around their in-form kiwi striker, is it a case that defenders can’t see the Wood for the Forest?

    When Nottingham Forest face Liverpool at the City Ground next week it will be a top-of-the-table match that barely anyone could have predicted back in August.

    Nuno Espirito Santo's side are six points behind the leaders after Monday's 3-0 win at Wolves and victory over the Reds - who they beat earlier in the season at Anfield - on Tuesday, 14 January will only increase title talk.

    From finishing 17th last season, amid off-field chaos and a four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules, Nuno has transformed the side.

    Only now are questions about their title credentials being asked, testament to the calm waters at Forest and Nuno's ability to play down even the highest praise.

    Even if it was tongue in cheek, the manager quipped in his post match news conference at Molineux that he will not look at the table with Forest third, only behind Arsenal on goal difference.

    "I don't know, maybe the end of the season I'll take a look. I promise you guys I will," he smiled.

    Today's big question - are Nottingham Forest in the title race?

    It's either that or "if you were making a playlist, what comes after No Woman No Cry followed by I Want It That Way?" (See below).

    We'll start with the Forest stuff but can always switch.

    And that result means Nottingham Forest are up to third in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal, and six points behind Liverpool - who they play next Tuesday.

    Morgan Gibbs-White inspired Nottingham Forest to a clinical win at Wolves, in front of new England manager Thomas Tuchel.

    The midfielder's early opener silenced the jeers from the home fans, with Gibbs-White having left Molineux for Forest in 2022.

    Chris Wood added a 12th goal of the season just before half-time before Taiwo Awoniyi tapped in a third after a counter-attack in stoppage time.

    Yet the hosts had their chances with Joao Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen seeing efforts saved by Forest keeper Matz Sels, while Larsen was also thwarted by Murillo's goalline clearance.

    Forest's 12th win, three more than during the whole of the last campaign, came from two of their biggest weapons and showed teams are still struggling to find ways to stop them.

    Really intrigued to see where he goes next with his DJing.

    Ain't nothing but a heartache if it's a different taxi driver tomorrow.

    Anyway, I've tried to find out if the The Backstreet Boys have a football connection but haven't had any luck.

    So, with no witty segue, I guess we should get straight into our Premier League chat. Here's a reminder of last night's game...

    But just before we start I have more tales of taxi driver karaoke.

    I was picked up by the same driver as yesterday and this time round his tunes were already playing when I got in.

    Instead of Bob Marley through the speakers though, this morning it was Backstreet Boys.

    An unexpected pivot but "I want it that way" was a hit at 5am.

    The Nottingham Forest hype train keeps on rolling.

    Since losing to Manchester City on December 4, Nuno Espirito Santo's side have won six in a row in the Premier League.

    Last night they demolished Wolves in a 3-0 win, cutting the gap at the top to just six points.

    It's only right that we kick off today's live text with them.
