Son on Richarlison: "I'm hoping we can have some more goals from him"

Heung-Min Son is hoping Richarlison can build on his recent exploits and add some more goals to his game as we take on Nottingham Forest tonight.

Taking on Forest at the City Ground this evening (kick-off 8pm UK), our Brazilian number nine has retained his place in our starting XI after a very fruitful display last time out against Newcastle United.

Firing home twice in our 4-1 win over the Magpies - his first Premier League brace in our colours - the striker has made an encouraging return to the pitch after missing our November fixtures after having surgery on a groin problem.

Now fighting fit though and back amongst the goals, our skipper Sonny is hoping his attacking counterpart can add to that very encouraging display by finding the target against the Tricky Trees tonight.

"He's a strong guy and I think he can score some goals," Sonny said at the City Ground. "Obviously, I was very happy (for him after his two goals against Newcastle), especially after a tough time - he's had surgery and he's bounced back to as strong as he normally is. I'm very pleased and very happy to see him scoring goals. Obviously he is a Brazilian starting striker, so we're hoping we can have some more goals from him."
