Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveI like him [Elliot Anderson], there is a maturity to his game.
He is blessed with fantastic ability on the ball and from a defensive point of view he has incredible pace to recover into position.
He is vastly improved in the last couple of years. I have watched him on a few occasions thinking wingers could get the better of him, but he has nullified them.

Brighton v Nottingham Forest (14:00 BST)
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espírito Santo, speaking to Sky Sports: "We try to not make a difference, the reality is the results have come well away [from home] - let's try to keep it that way today."
On changes: "It is obvious. It is not simple, all the players are working hard and we wish we could give chances to all of them.
"Anthony [Elanga] and Callum [Hudson-Odoi] - we will try to take advantage of their talent.
"The idea is to try to be compact and solid, take advantage of our talent, space and creativity - we have to play the game and compete very well."

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to Sky Sports: "Of course, the results are quite positive, but it's part of the truth that we still have a lot of improvements.
"We can make little steps game by game and that is what we try to do."
On Joao Pedro being on the bench: "Very close [to starting]. Joao always wants to play and in the end it is our responsibility to take care of the player and to protect him.
"He will be an important player for us in the season. He want to play for Brazil in the international phase."
On Jack Hinshelwood: "In his time in the academy he played in the midfield. We can see him in a higher position than full-back."
On Nottingham Forest: "Against Liverpool their match plan started off fantastically. We have to go with a plan A and plan B and hopefully we find all the answers on the pitch.
"We have created a lot of chances against Ipswich, but the last step was missing. We discussed this topic and hopefully we see a process today."

He also owns Olympiakos, who became the first Greek club to win a European trophy last season when they lifted the Conference League.
"Why not?" he told the BBC. "We did it for the first time ever. We were the underdogs. Why not with Nottingham Forest? We have what is needed to go all the way, but the first target is playing well in the Premier League.
"If Europe comes, it's something we will look to perform in."

'You can't replace that easily' - Hurzeler on set-pieces post-Grosspublished at 13:41 British Summer Time 22 September
Brighton v Nottingham Forest (14:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton boss Fabian Hurzeler admits they have struggled on set-pieces this season after losing Pascal Gross.
The 33-year-old, who scored 32 times and laid on 52 assists in 261 appearances for the Seagulls, joined boyhood club Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
"That's a phase of the game where we can improve because for me set-pieces can be a match winner, they can be a game changer and we work hard on them," said Hurzeler.
"It is something that won't happen overnight, it's a process. We lost with Pascal a great set-piece taker. So I think he took about 140 set pieces [last season]. You can't replace that easily. You have to build a new taker.
"You have to know the players, the weapons, who can make the cross to this zone, who can make the cross to that zone."
Sutton's predictionpublished at 13:38 British Summer Time 22 September
Brighton v Nottingham Forest (14:00 BST)
It is hard to predict a defeat for Nottingham Forest now because they were so good at Liverpool and their backline of Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Alex Moreno and Ola Aina were just tremendous.
Forest also had James Ward-Prowse just sitting in front of their back four ticking things over and Ryan Yates alongside him getting on everyone's nerves with his tenacity.
Their substitutes came on and impacted the game at Anfield as well and the whole team had such composure.
So, while I look at Brighton and think they are capable of scoring, based on what I saw from Forest, why would I say they will lose?
I don't think Brighton will lose at home either, so I am really sorry, but I am going to have to go for another draw.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Nottingham Forest have failed to score in their last four league visits to the Amex, since a 3-2 win in the Championship in February 2015.
Danny Collins, Henri Lansbury and Ben Osborn netted the goals that day. Lewis Dunk scored one of Brighton's.

"They have very good transition moments, so when they win the ball they move it quickly. They made a great start in the Premier League and I'm not surprised. It will be a big challenge for us."

Forest owner wants 50,000-seat City Groundpublished at 13:25 British Summer Time 22 September
Brighton v Nottingham Forest (14:00 BST)
Nottingham Forest are hoping to one day turn the City Ground into a 50,000-seater stadium, says owner Evangelos Marinakis.
The expansion would go beyond Forest's existing plans to increase the ground's capacity from about 30,000 to 42,000.
"What we need to do is have a bigger stadium," Marinakis told BBC East Midlands Today.
"We have a lot of supporters and a huge waiting list for season tickets and I'm sure a 50,000-seat stadium will be full watching our team and our passion."
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White were among those to be sent off
One player and both managers were sent off as Brighton and Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten Premier League records in an entertaining draw.
After four goals at Amex Stadium, the match ended in controversial fashion when Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White was shown a second yellow card for a sliding challenge on Brighton's Joao Pedro.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler was dismissed by referee Rob Jones, who then also showed a red card to Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo for their reactions to the incident.
Neither manager spoke to the media after the match, leaving it to members of the coaching staff.
"From my point of view Morgan’s tackle looked a strong one but a fair one," said Nottingham Forest assistant boss Rui Pedro Silva. "Of course the referee has a different point of view - we don't have to agree but that’s the decision he made.
"On the coaches [red cards] I didn't hear anything. It was an emotional moment. I didn’t hear anything from Nuno towards the referee. He was of course probably emotional but nothing more than his point of view."
Brighton coach Andrew Crofts said he was "not 100% sure" why Hurzeler had been sent off, adding: "Their player is going for the ball but it felt like a foul. Their bench felt differently. I didn't see too much of it but the referee sent the managers off."
Match of the Day 2: How 'star man' Kaoru Mitoma shines for Brighton
Thrilling entertainment on south coast
The visitors had gone ahead when former Brighton striker Chris Wood scored against his old club with a well-taken spot-kick after Carlos Baleba tripped Callum Hudson-Odoi in the penalty area.
But two goals in a three-minute spell just before half-time looked to have transformed the match.
Nineteen-year-old midfielder Jack Hinshelwood scored his fourth Brighton goal with an excellent, powerful header from Jan Paul van Hecke’s cross from deep to make it 1-1.
The Seagulls then took the lead in style thanks to Danny Welbeck’s superb 25-yard free-kick that curled around the wall and left away goalkeeper Matz Sels with no chance.
Welbeck almost added a third for the hosts with a fine dribbling run in which he beat three Forest players only to shoot just wide.
But Forest equalised in the 70th minute after breaching Brighton’s offside trap.
Gibbs-White timed his run perfectly to be through on the home goal and unselfishly squared the ball to substitute Ramon Sosa to score his first goal in English football.
Either side would have gone fourth with a win, but instead Brighton remain seventh, while Forest climb a place to eighth.
'Nuno was only giving point of view', says Forest assistant coach Rui Pedro Silva
Both sides continue to impress this season
Both teams have enjoyed fine starts to the campaign and have now won two and drawn three of their five Premier League matches, while Brighton have also reached the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.
The hosts made a bright start as Simon Adingra caused problems, but his low, powerful cross from inside the penalty area could not find a team-mate.
Forest came into this match after an excellent 1-0 win at Liverpool and Nuno's side maintained their record of scoring first in each of their league matches this season.
Wood, who had a loan spell at Brighton in 2010-11, calmly sent home goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen the wrong way from the penalty spot.
Brighton gave Forest a warning when Georginio Rutter spun and shot wide from 20 yards, before Hinshelwood equalised with the Seagulls’ first effort on target.
That was quickly followed by Welbeck’s superb free-kick for his third goal of the season.
But Forest equalised midway through the second half and, following the three red cards, had a late chance to snatch the three points.
Sosa was clean through on goal in injury time, but instead of shooting he overhit a pass to Hudson-Odoi and the chance was wasted - though his blushes were somewhat spared when the flag was raised for offside.
Nevertheless, a point apiece was a fair conclusion to a hugely entertaining match.
Brighton's Crofts says they 'should have won the game'

Match Facts
Brighton have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four home league games against Nottingham Forest (W3 D1), having lost the previous two while conceding three goals each time.
Having been unbeaten in eight top-flight meetings with Brighton between 1980 and 2023 (W6 D2), Nottingham Forest lost home and away against the Seagulls last season.
Brighton are unbeaten so far in the Premier League this season (W2 D2) – they’ve never remained without defeat in their first five games of a top-flight season, last doing so in any division in the 2015-16 Championship.
