Nottingham Forest Confirmed Substitutes: Victor (GK), Cunha (DEF), Sangare (MID), Yates (MID), Gibbs-White (MID), Hutchinson (FWD), Jesus (FWD), Hudson-Odoi (FWD), Kalimuendo (FWD).

The Black Cats are coming from earning points in four of their first five matches in the top tier of English football, recording eight points, while Forest have only earned five.

The team now managed by Ange Postecoglou hopes to react quickly and return to the winning path after drawing 1-1 against Burnley in the last matchday.

A similar case to Sunderland, who drew 1-1 against Aston Villa. Unfortunately for both clubs, they both suffer important absences, but as the official lineups show, it will be a very attractive match.
