A win at the weekend will not necessarily move Nottingham out of the bottom three but it will be a good launching pad for success.
After losing the opening two Premier League games, Manchester United have gone on to win six of their next eight league games.
Liverpool are seventh in the table with 16 points from 10 games, while Nottingham only have six points from 11 matches.
Placed in Group A of the Europa League, Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven occupy the first and second positions respectively.
Both sides have been impressive in their respective domestic leagues and are nearly unstoppable every time they take to the pitch.
With pressure mounting on Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, he will be desperate for the club to climb out of the bottom spot.
They are both winless in their last three league games, hence Thursday provides a great opportunity for them to end that barren run.
Sitting third in the Premier League table, Tottenham Hotspur have 23 points from ten games. They have already won seven of those matches.
Sitting fifth in the Premier League table, Manchester United have 16 points from nine matches. They have seven points less than third-placed Spurs.
Watford are placed tenth in the standings with 20 points from 14 games. They are just two points shy of the sixth spot in the table.
