A trip to Arsenal is never an easy way to begin the new Premier League campaign, but Nottm Forest will be hoping their defeat at the Emirates last weekend isn't a sign of the dreaded 'Second Season Syndrome'. Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring, but it was Bukayo Saka's sublime second that gave Forest a mountain to climb, with little in the way of attacking threat until Taiwo Awoniyi's 83rd-minute strike set up a nervy finish in north London. Can Steve Cooper's side put in a better performance back back on home turf?
Awoniyi is rewarded with a start tonight, with Neco Williams also coming in. Ryan Yates will have to make do with a spot on the bench, while summer signing Ola Aina drops out completely.
Sheffield Utd's first game back in the Premier League also ended in defeat last weekend, with Odsonne Edouard's 49th-minute goal securing Crystal Palace all three points at Bramall Lane. Manager Paul Heckingbottom has made no secret of the fact that his squad will need strengthening if they're to be competitive this season, particularly with Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge both leaving, but it's games like this one today that the Blades will be targeting for a much-needed three points.
There are also two changes to the Sheffield Utd starting XI tonight, with new signing Gustavo Hamer making his debut in midfield, and Vinícius Souza making his first start for the club. Chris Basham drops to the bench while George Baldock is not in the squad.
