Nottingham Forest's Championship title, promotion and play-off chances rated

It may still be relatively early days in the 2019-20 season but Nottingham Forest's start to the campaign has raised hopes of a promotion push.

Forest are second in the Sky Bet Championship table after 11 matches, and only trail leaders West Bromwich Albion on goal difference.

Since losing to West Brom on the opening day, Sabri Lamouchi's men have gone on a 10-match unbeaten run in the league.

Nine points from nine in September earned Lamouchi the manager of the month award, and the Reds will be hoping to continue their fine form when they return to action after the international break on Sunday, with a trip to Wigan Athletic.

Can they establish themselves as genuine contenders? Below, we take a look at how the bookies rate their chances of winning the title, getting promoted and making the play-offs.

And for those eternally pessimistic fans, we have even throw in the relegation odds!
