At the start of the season Jamie Carragher wasn’t alone in fearing for Nottingham Forest’s Premier League survival.

But with just six games left to play, the Liverpool legend’s prediction that Forest would be relegated is now one of the most spectacular misses of the season.

Speaking ahead of the 24/25 campaign, Carragher tipped Nuno Espírito Santo’s side to drop back into the Championship, questioning whether Forest had the quality or squad depth to survive after narrowly avoiding relegation the previous year.

Instead, Forest have torn up the script.

At the time of his prediction Carragher tipped Ipswich to survive the drop at the expense of Forest, saying “I think [Ipswich] might do enough

I think Nottingham Forest have been close every season and eventually the trap door opens.”



When recapping his predictions recently, Carragher admitted “Nottingham Forest is the big one that I got wrong” before admitting “not doing his homework” when underestimating the quality of the Forest attacking options.
