Sky Sports pundits Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith have backed Nottingham Forest to seal a stunning return to the Premier League.
The Reds are currently in sensational form under head coach Steve Cooper and notched up another victory at the weekend as they overcame Birmingham at the City Ground.
Goals in each half from on-loan Aston Villa striker Keinan Davis and defender Scott McKenna sealed a 2-0 win over Blues as Forest climbed to third in the table leaving them six points behind Bournemouth who are second.

With Fulham looking odds on to claim the title, the last automatic promotion spot is seemingly up for grabs with Bournemouth only having registered two wins in their last five games.
And that has opened the door for the in-form Reds to launch an assault on a return to the top flight for the first time since they were relegated in 1999.
Warnock and Smith both feel the Reds are destined to return to the top flight as they were asked for their thoughts on the Championship promotion race.
Asked who the three promoted clubs would be, former Liverpool defender Warnock said: "Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United (play-offs)." Former England women striker, Smith retorted: "Oooh. I'd definitely say Fulham and Nottingham Forest and I think Bournemouth."
The Reds are next in action this weekend when they travel to Luton Town when they will come face to face with ex-Reds midfielder Henri Lansbury.
