19 min: Brighton are not at it at all here, and the credit for that must go to Nottingham Forest. Nuno has made them difficult to play against.

17 min: Oof, nasty: Adingra on Moreno. A yellow card only but it was high. if not vicious. And actually, not even a yellow?

16 min: Eric Petersen: “Good morning from Pittsburgh! Looking for a fact-check here - I’m of the opinion that Fabian Hurzeler bears more than a passing resemblance to a similarly-aged Gary Oldman. Nuno Spirito Santo has always reminded me of Jean Reno in his Leon: The Professional look. So I already have an image of a Forest win, followed by the managers meeting to exchange pleasantries, and Nuno locking eyes with his counterpart and growling, “This...is for Mathilda.”

The 1990s – the golden era of films.

14 min: You might not think Chris Wood is the type to be good at penalties but maby that’s some prejudice against tall lads. That was a beauty. Nuno’s selection of Hudson-Odoi has paid off already.

Goal! Brighton 0-1 Nottingham Forest (Wood, 13)

Penalty to Forest!

9 min: Closest call yet. Rutter slots in Adringra and the ball is zipped across goal. Welbeck was the target but he couldn’t get there.

7 min: A few high tackles going in and the ref decides he wants everyone to calm down, that’s there’s been too much rough stuff. Spoilsport

6 min: Estupinan on the burst. Good to see him back after injuries last season. At one point, he looked the next £60m sale for Brighton. On the the bench, Hurzeler is a ball of energy, and engaging tech, looking at the screens.

4 min: Morgan Gibbs-White climbs well, and looks to take a knock but he will be OK to continue. A quick free-kick sends Hudson-Odoi away. Too quick: he was offside.

2 min: A poor corner is cleared but Brighton continue to push upwards. Forest probably happy to sit back. It worked at Anfield, after all.

Away we go at the Amex

Nuno speaks, too: ““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.”

Fabian Hurzeler speaks, plenty of praise for Forest: “I think they have great individual players. They have a good style of play. They have a good compactness. They defend well. 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.”

For Nottingham Forest, it’s been a weekend of remembrance. It was 20 years ago on Friday that Brian Clough died.

Joao Pedro is in the Brighton squad but on the bench, and Callum Hudson-Odoi starts for Nottingham Forest after scoring the winner at Liverpool. Anthony Elanga is in the forward line, too. Simon Adingra replaces Yankuba Minteh on the wing, in tandem with Kaoru Mitoma. Jack Hinshelwood moves from left-back into midfield – such a talent – as the mighty Pervis Estupinan makes a long-awaited return.

The starting teams

Last time out for both teams.

Early team news

Joao Pedro continues to be a doubt – he missed the last two matches, and that’s Hurzeler’s problem in finding that goal. Brajan Gruda, Solly March, James Milner and Matt O’Riley are all long-term absentees.

For Forest, Wily Boly and Ibrahim Sangare are likely to be missing.
