Nottingham Forest is good and we also feel our struggle will not be as easy as we predict at the beginning.
We are waiting for the results of Arsenal. If Arsenal wins, then we will get closer to Arsenal. This means that Liverpool have warned these two teams to target the 20th trophy.
Nottingham Forest has done a great job by getting a draw against the strongest team in EPL this season (Liverpool). It wasn't easy match because Liverpool very dominated the match. But Nottingham Forest has strong defense line, they still could steal a point from Liverpool. I'm sure no one who think Nottingham Forest can steal point from Liverpool.
The match Arsenal vs Tottenham is almost over. Arsenal is leading with 2 goals, Arsenal returns to the 2nd place. Arsenal collects 43 points, the point gap with Liverpool is still 4 points. I think it is not really close, it won't be easy to shorten the point gap because Arsenal will have some big matches in the near future (against Aston Villa and Man City).
If Nottingham Forest was successful this season as you said, I would pat them to them for the success they had been waiting for.
How do you define the success of Nottingham Forest? Win EPL trophy, finish in the top 3, or join UCL next season? I personally think that this team has been successful this season. In the last season, they were in the 17th place (almost in the relegation zone). It is surprised to see them in the top 3 EPL standings. If they keep playing consistently, I'm sure they probably finish in the top 5 at least.
