Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United will be keen on clinching their first win of the 2023/24 season when they clash at City Ground on Friday.
The 2023/24 Premier League season will resume this week, with Gameweek 2 beginning on Friday. And the latest round of fixtures will begin with a potentially early relegation six-pointer, with Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United locking horns at City Ground.
Nottingham Forest had to slog it out to remain in the Premier League last season. And their solid home record (tenth-best in the division) helped them remain afloat, considering they had the worst tally on the road. Meanwhile, the Tricky Trees continue to be poor travellers after losing the season-opening game at Arsenal last weekend. But the game had some positive signs, as they ran the Gunners close.
Like the hosts, Sheffield United also suffered a narrow defeat in Gameweek 1 of the 2023/24 Premier League season. But they were toothless in the final third, with Crystal Palace managing a straightforward 1-0 victory at Bramall Lane. And the Blades will look to get off the mark on Friday in a crucial match for their survival prospects.
Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United last clashed in the EFL Championship Playoffs, with Steve Cooper’s men eking out a narrow win. And The Hard Tackle takes a closer look at the encounter ahead of the latest meeting between the two sides.
