The Tricky Trees will be looking to get their Premier League campaign off to a flying start in front of their fans at the City Ground. The last two fixtures between both teams produced four goals each, so fans should expect an interesting encounter in this one.

The Super Eagles star in focus is defender Ola Aina, and he starts at right wing-back for Nottingham Forest. He is now the only Nigerian at the club after Taiwo Awoniyi left for Coventry City earlier in the week.

He will be looking to shine under Oliver Glasner in a new system.

A sound victory for either of the two sides could give them a rare opportunity to be at the summit of the Premier League table since this is just game week 1.

Aina will have a tough job today on the right flank, as he tries to find the balance between attacking and defensive duties. It will be interesting who rules that side of the pitch between him and Jayden Bogle.
