THE LOWDOWN
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- Nottingham Forest were given a harsh lesson in top-level football on Wednesday evening as a rampant Man City – led by goal machine Erling Haaland – put the promoted side to the sword in a 6-0 hammering.
- Steve Cooper will not overreact to that defeat given the quality of the opposition but he has plenty of options at his disposal with transfer activity continuing right until the end of deadline day.
BOURNEMOUTH
- Managerless Bournemouth played out a rather drab goalless draw with Wolves on Tuesday, but that was at least a considerable improvement on the 9-0 defeat to Liverpool that spelled the end of Scott Parker’s tenure.
- Interim boss Gary O’Neil opted for a back four against Wolves and he could well keep faith with that setup given the clean sheet, while loan signing Jack Stephens has a strong chance of inclusion in the backline.

THE PREDICTION
Two of the promoted sides lock horns here with both having made identical starts to the season in terms of points, but very different when it comes to off-field matters. Nottingham Forest have made an eye-watering 20 signings in the transfer market as they make a huge push to stay in the division, while Bournemouth recently parted ways with Scott Parker, whose criticism of the club’s lack of ambition appears to have brought about his exit. Forest’s new-look team will no doubt take some time to bed in, but there is a much more positive vibe around the club at the moment, and they are tipped to pick up their second league win of the campaign here.
TIP: NOTTINGHAM FOREST TO WIN
