a karting world champion at the age of ten, is this british racer on the fastrick to f1 and with nottingham forest flying high in 2025, we rewind 50 years to a turning point in the club's history. brian clough's arrival evening, the football is non—stop this week, league cup semi—finals, the fa cup third round starts on thursday, before that there's one more game in the premier league tonight. with second placed arsenal slipping up over the weekend, nottingham forest can move level on points with the gunners. nuno espirito santos' side have won five in a row over the past month,

only newcastle have matched that, and they will be favourites against one of the manager's former sides, wolves. we'll get the latest from molineux in a moment but first here's ben croucher on one of the stories of the season so far. for one team from the east midlands, they have hit their peak in midwinter.— they have hit their peak in midwinter. ., ., ., , midwinter. nottingham forest when i went to manchester _ midwinter. nottingham forest when i went to manchester united, - midwinter. nottingham forest when i went to manchester united, what - midwinter. nottingham forest when i went to manchester united, what an l went to manchester united, what an amazing spirit shown by nottingham forest. �* ., ., , ., forest. another great result on the road for nottingham _ forest. another great result on the road for nottingham forest. - road for nottingham forest. nottingham forest have one again. it is nottingham forest have one again. is pfeiffer merrick league wins in a row for this team. fizfe is pfeiffer merrick league wins in a row for this team.— is pfeiffer merrick league wins in a row for this team. five wins in five names. row for this team. five wins in five games- they _ row for this team. five wins in five games. they have _ row for this team. five wins in five games. they have had _ row for this team. five wins in five games. they have had a _ row for this team. five wins in five games. they have had a week- row for this team. five wins in five l games. they have had a week since that went over into the shepherds on, each chance to reflect. we have to move forward, _ on, each chance to reflect. we have to move forward, with _ on, each chance to reflect. we have to move forward, with the - on, each chance to reflect. we have to move forward, with the prepare i to move forward, with the prepare the game, no step back, it's the moment to go again and asked the boys to give it everything that they have. that is the idea, and stepping

certainly get the rest of their top scorer this season in chris wood. they are flying, and they can dream of european football. i think they have to win tonight, because if the look at their upcoming pictures, they get a bit trickier, yes southampton is on the horizon at the city ground, but the likes of liverpool and manchester city and arsenal and newcastle and away trips to fulham and bournemouth are still to fulham and bournemouth are still to come, in february and march for nothing and for us, so mark this as three points, and momentum is key in football, if they keep this running off i can daydream?— football, if they keep this running off i can daydream? supporters will be dreaming _ off i can daydream? supporters will be dreaming of— off i can daydream? supporters will be dreaming of european _ off i can daydream? supporters will be dreaming of european football, | be dreaming of european football, and it would not be lost on them that today marks 50 years since their greatest manager of all time, brian clough, stepped through the door at the city ground. absolutely, and one them _ door at the city ground. absolutely, and one them to _ door at the city ground. absolutely, and one them to european - door at the city ground. absolutely, and one them to european clubs - door at the city ground. absolutely, and one them to european clubs in i and one them to european clubs in the process during this time it's city ground, so they can dream him a maybe there is a milestone, a history reference to be made there with the 50 year study marketed for

brian clough. they will certainly be hoping maybe not your potential for success, but this season can bring a return to european football at this city ground next season. for return to european football at this city ground next season.- city ground next season. for the last three _ city ground next season. for the last three or— city ground next season. for the last three or four _ city ground next season. for the last three or four months, - city ground next season. for the last three or four months, it - city ground next season. for the last three or four months, it has| last three or four months, it has been easy to describe wills as premier league strugglers but they are really enjoying a manager bounce under vito para, aren't they? then;r under vito para, aren't they? they were down — under vito para, aren't they? they were down and _ under vito para, aren't they? they were down and out _ under vito para, aren't they? tue: were down and out under gary under vito para, aren't they? tue:1. were down and out under gary o'neil, but they're coming in on some points out of a possible nine in charge, if you went tonight, he would've picked up you went tonight, he would've picked up more points than gary o'neil did in his last 19 games, so the turnaround has been brilliant. tonight they are missing their star man in matheus cornea, so that would be a tricky task having to negotiate that two—game suspension for his altercations in the defeat to ipswich back in december, so it bit of work to do, some region again for vitor pereira, but we talked about momentum in football, how far can

think you need to get his level of performance to where it should be because what it does it takes this aspect and discussion outs. trent alexander—arnold has always talked about, for six or seven years, in a strange way, he has been one of the most talked about footballers in the country, but these are right back. but trent hesitates responsibly and find his game so as not attracting the wrong headlines. tet find his game so as not attracting the wrong headlines.— find his game so as not attracting the wrong headlines. yet the league cu the wrong headlines. yet the league cop semifinal — the wrong headlines. yet the league cup semifinal coming _ the wrong headlines. yet the league cup semifinal coming up _ the wrong headlines. yet the league cup semifinal coming up against - cup semifinal coming up against spurs on wednesday, the football it really does not stop, and you mentioned mohamed salah, we have this trio of liverpool stars who are out of contract at the end of the season, and we had this rather curious a post from mohamed salah, no words struck, just a picture of the three of them on the pitch there yesterday to stop mohamed salah. mohamed salah is that the base of time quite an example —— enigmatic, i can't speak late what you try to indicate on that post, is he indicated solidarity between the three of them are that the three of

them are an ongoing question? you never know with mohamed salah if he chooses, and he very much chooses to say something more explicit, he could post more explicit if he wants or speak to journalists could post more explicit if he wants or speak tojournalists in could post more explicit if he wants or speak to journalists in the mixon, we have seen it recently, we have to look at what he says and say we don't know what you mean. if you like to clarify feel free to do so at the next opportunity. tia like to clarify feel free to do so at the next opportunity. no matter the size of the _ at the next opportunity. no matter the size of the club, _ at the next opportunity. no matter the size of the club, a _ at the next opportunity. no matter the size of the club, a january - the size of the club, a january transfer window can be a bit unsettling, and liverpool are in a healthy place despite dropping points against manchester united, but they could do without this, couldn't be?— but they could do without this, couldn't be? way, but i think, i don't think— couldn't be? way, but i think, i don't think that _ couldn't be? way, but i think, i don't think that liverpool - couldn't be? way, but i think, i don't think that liverpool seem j couldn't be? way, but i think, i i don't think that liverpool seem off the pitch unsettled, there is a firm line, trent alexander—arnold is not going anywhere from january, in liverpool point of view, i don't see that changing. the question becomes whether or not liverpool feel they could do with an addition injanuary to boser the fight for the four trophies they remain in you. i think

no one is saying anything about being unsettled. if 1407 00:11
