In advance of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League matchup with Luton Town this afternoon, Paul Merson has made his prediction.
The Reds, who defeated Sheffield United 2-1 in August, will be aiming for their second home victory of the year.

Merson’s forecast for Luton vs. Forest
The 55-year-old stated in his Sportskeeda column that Forest should be too good for Rob Edwards’ team at the City Ground.
“Both teams have to win this game. Luton needs to try and win this game and they need to start winning games.
They were up against a Tottenham team with ten men, and they were unable to score. They are having trouble in the Premier League and appear to be a class below the rest.
ldn’t be underestimated because they have already triumphed away from home this season, defeating Sean Dyche’s Everton at Goodison Park.
Merson, a former Arsenal player, acknowledges that the match will be close and that a win is essential for both sides.
“Nottingham Forest have picked up nine points from eight games so far. Forest are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.”
Is Forest able to record another victory?
While there is never an easy match in the Premier League, Cooper’s team has a great chance to pick up three more points this afternoon.
Although Luton is a team that is widely predicted to relegate, they won’t be easy to beat and will certainly present a threat. Hopefully, the Reds will possess an abundance of quality in crucial areas to secure all three points.
