NOTTINGHAM FOREST boss Nuno Espirito Santo says his side’s faltering form in the quest for Champions League qualification is a reminder of the “reality” of the Premier League.

Forest have had an amazing season so far and sit in third but their form has hit the buffers in recent weeks with three defeats from the last four.

They conceded four goals in 11 minutes against Newcastle on Sunday and it does not get much easier as Arsenal visit the City Ground on Wednesday.
