Nottingham Forest boss Nuno is adamant they'll stay up this season.

Forest are now inside the Premier League bottom three after a four point penalty for financial mismanagement.

Ahead of facing Crystal Palace, Nuno was asked if Forest will be safe: “Yes, of course. The way we work, the way we play, the togetherness and the commitment of the players gives me that confidence. I see that every day and that's why I'm so confident.

“We have two very, very important games. We go game by game but it starts against Palace. They are a good team and it is going to be tough.

“We are at the City Ground. It's a big game for us. The support of the fans and the noise of the City Ground, we need them. They are going to help us, for sure.

“We have to start the game well and on the front foot, engaging everyone - the fans and the crowd. They are more than the 12th man, they are very important.

“The situation that we are in requires everyone in the club to be really focused on the task ahead of us. The past is the past, now we look forward for the future. And the future tells us we have to play and win games. What better motivation do we need?"
