A Premier League miracle could be occurring in front of their very eyes this season, as Nottingham Forest continue to keep pace with the elite at the top of the standings.

The Tricky Trees may have seen their winning sequence ended at the City Ground on Tuesday, but huge confidence would still be taken from the fact that they were able to hold Liverpool to a draw.

However, confidence levels will be low within the Southampton camp. The Saints are on course to set the lowest points tally in Premier League history, and they have won just once this season.
