Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United Lineups
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest faced one of their toughest games on the calendar last weekend when they made the trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal. The Gunners took a 2-goal lead in the first half and looked like they were going to stroll to victory. However, Forest put in a much better second-half performance and even pulled a goal back through Awoniyi 8-minutes from time but Arsenal held on to win the game 2-1. Richards, Hennessey and Felipe are the main injury concerns for the hosts this weekend.
Predicted Lineup – Turner (GK), Aurier, Boly, Aina, McKenna, Worrall, Mangala, Gibbs-White, Yates, Awoniyi & Johnson
Sheff Utd
The Blades' return to the top-flight ended in defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday. Both teams gave as good as they got but a 49th-minute effort from Edouard proved enough for the Eagles to claim a deserved 1-0 victory. Fleck, Brewster, Coulibaly, Bogle and Norrington-Davies are not expected to make the trip to the Midlands on Friday, while there are also doubts over Jebbison and McBurnie.
Predicted Lineup – Foderingham (GK), Basham, Baldock, Robinson, Egan, Lowe, Ahmedhodžić, Norwood, Osborn, Traoré & Osula

Player to Watch: Morgan Gibbs-White
If anyone is going to unlock a defense in Friday's match then our money would be on Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.
People may have scoffed at the fee Forest paid Wolves for the young English midfielder but Gibbs-White has been one of the club's best performers over the last 12-months.
While we have predicted a tight and tense 90-minutes on Friday, Gibbs-White impressed on-loan at Sheffield United during the 2021/22 Championship campaign leading to Forest signing the player the following season.
We could see Gibbs-White coming back to haunt his former side on Friday in a game that the hosts ar the favourite to win with all bookmakers.
