The Tricky Trees have been one of the teams of the season so far. They head into the weekend in the European places, following a dramatic win over Man Utd last weekend. The likes of Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi are really stepping up once again, providing their side with both creativity and steel. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be without Danilo through injury, while Ibrahim Sangare has also picked up a knock.

The Villains have been knocked back since their strong start to the season. However, whether it is Jhon Duran or Ollie Watkins, they have the attacking prowess to trouble anyone. Under Unai Emery, they have a solid, organised defense too. They have won five and drawn five of their last 11 encounters with Forest.

These teams are separated in the league table by just one goal so this fixture is crucial. Find out out to watch below, and make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
