Nottm Forest are hoping for a slightly less dramatic season this time around. Last season saw the midlands side finish in 17th place, just one position above the relegation zone, and also suffered a points deduction due to financial breaches which added further frustration. Now with manager Nuno Espírito Santo settled at the helm and a few exciting new additions, including promising young midfielder Elliot Anderson signed from Newcastle, Nottm Forest will look to kick on and aim for a season where relegation fears are not on anybody's mind. 

Conversely, Bournemouth are looking to build on last season’s respectable 12th-place finish. Pushing into the top half of the EPL table is on the Cherries agenda. Bournemouth have made some impressive moves in the transfer market to help achieve this ambitious goal including Luis Sinisterra from Leeds and Dean Huijsen from Juventus, manager Andoni Iraola has been well-backed already, and reports suggest more spending is to come. 

Here's how they line up: 

Nottm Forest: Sels, Williams, Murillo, Boly, Aina, Danilo, Sangare, Elagna, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Wood

Bournemouth: Neto, Smith, Huijsen, Zabarnyi, Kerkez; Cook, Scott, Tavernier,  Sinisterra, Semenyo, Dango

The Nottm Forest vs Bournemouth live stream is an important game for both sides as both look to build on last season’s finish. You can watch this EPL match online and from anywhere with our guide down below.
