Monday’s game will have been painfully familiar to Wolves fans, who found themselves on the wrong end of the same brand of Nuno ball that had lifted them into Europe under the Portuguese, who delivered consecutive seventh-placed finishes in 2018-19 and 2019-20.

David: What chance have you got if you miss opportunities in the goal area? Wolves should have gone in at half time 3-2 up not 0-2 down. You can't afford to miss glaring opportunities from 6ft in this league.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood scored early and late in a two-goal first half and Nottingham Forest's defense stayed stingy, pushing the third-place Tricky Trees to a 3-0 win over Wolves at the Molineux on Monday.

And unsurprisingly, it’s Forest who are the clear favourites, with betting sites pricing an away win at 5/4 compared to 12/5 for Wolves to take the three points. Forest have won their last five matches on the bounce since a 3-0 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad, meaning that they are the league’s most in-form team alongside Newcastle United.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BBC Sport after the win over Wolves: "We played good. We were organised and we had the luck of scoring really early, that settles us down. Wolves reacted well and Matz Sels was very good for us today to keep us in the game but overall it was a good performance."
