Nottingham Forest have got a fine chance this weekend to make a real statement against Wolves in the Championship at the City Ground.

The Reds have had some big games in recent days with them winning away at Sunderland earlier this week after losing against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough last weekend.

For sure, then, they will feel that they've shown glimpses of what they can do so far this season but perhaps not all of the time and so this weekend represents a top chance to really announce themselves in the top six chase.

Many have Wolves as one of the favourites for the title this season and they have certainly started well so if the Reds can beat them, they too will need to be taken seriously at the sharp end.

Fans, then, will be looking for their players to be up for it and Kieran Dowell certainly seems in relaxed form:

A positive sign for Forest fans, then, as relaxed players often produce their best football and if a player of Dowell's capability can do that the Reds have a real chance.

The Verdict

This is a great game to look forward to this weekend between two sides that are really upwardly mobile.

The Reds look a much better side to the one that was around last season and Wolves also look a real force so we should expect some top players on show.

Dowell will want to be one of those, then, and he certainly seems relaxed ahead of the game at the City Ground.
