Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Brighton in the Premier League today.
Brennan Johnson returned to the Nottingham Forest side for the huge clash with Brighton.

Danny Welbeck was only fit enough for the bench for Brighton.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Another injury for the home side sees the game halted. Johnson's clash with Williams has left the latter with a head injury, and a stretcher is now being brought out onto the pitch.

Williams bundles past his own team-mate, Johnson, to reach a low diving header inside the six-yard box, but - rather unconvincingly - Steele keeps the ball out of his net with a save at the second attempt.

MISS! A brilliant Brighton break sees Buonanotte dash through the centre of a wide-open Forest defence before releasing Mitoma at just the right time. However, from inside the area, the Albion winger is guilty of a glaring miss - he puts his shot wide of the right-hand post with Navas left totally exposed!

Despite reaching the left byline with some fancy footwork, Buonanotte ultimately finds his route blocked by Worrall, who shepherds the ball away to safety.

There's no doubt that Forest remain a threat on the counter, given their pace and power up front. In fact, they seem content to absorb Brighton's pressure and hope to catch them out at some stage.

JUST WIDE! An unorthodox block by Dunk, with his chest, temporarily clears the danger in Brighton's area, but the ball then falls to Williams on the right corner of the box. He sends a well-struck low shot scudding across goal and just wide of the far post!

An excellent turn and pass from Enciso across the edge of the box sets up Estupinan to strike, but the left-back's volleyed effort bounces wide of the right-hand post.
