Gary Neville has given his verdict on whether he believes Nottingham Forest will be relegated from the Premier League this season.
Forest recruited six players in the January transfer window, as they continue to boost their chances of survival in the top-flight. Despite a difficult start to the season where the Reds were in and around the relegation zone, a string of positive results has turned their situation around.
Although Forest are six points clear of the drop in 13th place, Neville admits he was left 'worried' when he watched the Carabao Cup match against Manchester United.

"I went to see Nottingham Forest live in the Carabao Cup game, I actually thought that was the worst back five that night," he told The Overlap. "The worst back five I'd seen all season live, in terms of the performance.
"I know Forest have had their injuries and people to come back and you're obviously better in other games but I was worried about them that night. But I think you've got enough points that means you don't have to worry too much at this moment in time.
"At the moment, Bournemouth and Southampton are the two that look like they're massively in trouble."
