Two sides looking to build on strong finishes to last season get their campaigns underway at the City Ground today as Nottingham Forest host Bournemouth.
Now into their third consecutive term in the EPL, Forest fans will be hoping for a more settled season this time out after two rollercoaster campaigns overshadowed by scattergun recruitment and unwanted flirtation with relegation. Boss Nuno Espirito Santo has managed to keep hold of key stars Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White, while also making some exciting summer additions in the form of Serbian defender Nikola Milenković and tricky Portuguese winger Jota Silva.
After a worryingly slow start to last season, Bournemouth become one of the most in-form sides in the second half of the campaign under boss Andoni Iraola. An improvement on their 12th place finish will likely depend on how well they replace star striker Dominic Solanke who joined Spurs in a £65m deal last week.
Nottingham Forest host AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, Aug. 17, at the City Ground, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. BST local time, making it a 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and a 12 a.m. AEST kickoff in the early hours of Sunday in Australia.
