Nottingham Forest will be keen to bounce back from the embarrassing midweek Premier League defeat against champions Manchester City when they face Bournemouth on Saturday. Forest were hit for a six by Pep Guardiola’s side following Erling Braut Haaland’s impressive first-half hat-trick. Saturday’s hosts are enjoying an outstanding transfer window with multiple incomings. However, they were not able to transform that optimism onto the pitch following their indifferent start to the new season. Hence, Saturday presents an opportunity for the newly-promoted side to get only their second win of the league season.
