Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest take on Southampton in the Premier League tonight.

This is a huge battle at the bottom of the table as 19th placed Nottingham Forest host bottom of the table Southampton. Should they win Forest would jump above Leeds and Leicester and move three points clear of the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, the Saints need to pick up three points against their relegation rivals to keep themselves in with a chance of getting out of the bottom three. If they lose, they will be eight points from safety and would need to win their final three fixtures to stay up.

We’ll bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

Nottingham Forest vs Southampton

McCarthy dives low to make a sharp stop with his legs, after Yates drives a low shot straight at him from 15 yards. The flag then goes up for a marginal offside in the build-up anyway, but it was a presentable chance missed by the Forest captain.

DOUBLE CHANCE! Saints bite back, as Armstrong is denied by a block at the near post, then Walcott finds the top of the net with another flicked header from the subsequent corner!

A slip by Felipe opens up space in the Forest area, but Alcaraz steps onto the ball and bends his shot over the top of the target. He should at least have tested Navas from there!
