Nottingham Forest relegation state of play after West Ham and Southampton games

Nottingham Forest sit two points above the Premier League relegation zone after Sunday's fixtures.

Rivals West Ham and Southampton both picked up a point on Sunday afternoon with draws against Aston Villa and Manchester United respectively. A Said Benrahma penalty earned the Hammers a 1-1 draw with Villa after Ollie Watkins had opened the scoring, while the Saints held United to a goalless stalemate at Old Trafford, with Casemiro sent off in the first half for the home side.

The results mean Forest stay 14th in the table, but there are only two points keeping them above the bottom three. Forest have an equal goal difference (-26) with 18th-place Bournemouth, the joint-worse in the top flight.

At the time of writing, Wolves, who are one place above Forest in the table, were 1-0 down to Newcastle United - but they will stay above the Reds in the table regardless of the final result.

Forest have not won any of their last five Premier League games, their most recent victory coming over Leeds United on February 5. Their next game is at home to Newcastle next Friday, their last fixture before the upcoming international break.
