Nottingham Forest XI vs Bournemouth – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

A new era begins in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest on Sunday as Sean Dyche takes charge of his first league match away at high-flying Bournemouth.

The former Burnley boss oversaw a morale-boosting Europa League victory against Porto in midweek. Now, however, he faces the task of ending the club’s seven-match winless run in the league. Currently, Forest sit just one point above the relegation zone. Therefore, this represents a crucial first domestic test for Dyche.

History is against them in this fixture. For instance, they are winless in their last ten league meetings with Bournemouth. Furthermore, Dyche himself has lost his last three Premier League encounters against the Cherries.

Nottingham Forest team news

Sean Dyche has several injury concerns for his first Premier League match in charge. The team have ruled out both Ola Aina and Dilane Bakwa. Additionally, Oleksandr Zinchenko (adductor) and Chris Wood (knee) face late fitness tests.

If Zinchenko is unavailable, Nicolo Savona could deputise at left-back. Meanwhile, Igor Jesus is on standby should Wood miss out up front. Elsewhere, Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi are expected to provide the creative support in attack.
