What is at stake for Nottingham Forest and Sunderland?

Forest have made an underwhelming start to the season, picking up just five points from five matches, recording only one win in the process, and new head coach Ange Postecoglou has had a slow start to life at the helm.

Postecoglou has a record of one draw and two defeats from his three matches since arriving, and the home side will be coming up against a Sunderland team that have impressed this season.

Indeed, the Black Cats are up in seventh spot on eight points, and they are unbeaten in their last three in the Premier League, beating Brentford before drawing with Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
