Our final Premier League match of the day sees Nottingham Forest face bottom-of-the-table Coventry City at the City Ground.

Kick-off is at 17:30 BST.

Frank Lampard’s side are without a single Premier League point or goal to their name after four Gameweeks.

The Tricky Trees, meanwhile, have bounced back from a narrow opening-day defeat to embark on a three-match unbeaten run.

TEAM NEWS

Forest boss Oliver Glasner makes just one change from their 2-1 win over Aston Villa last Saturday.

Jair Cunha returns from injury to take the place of Ola Aina, who drops to the bench.

The most-bought player of Gameweek 5, Morgan Gibbs-White, starts, as expected. So too do Murillo, Daniel Munoz, Neco Williams and Liam Delap, all of whom were snapped up by over 100,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers ahead of Friday’s deadline.

As for the visitors, Lampard makes three changes to the side he sent out in Gameweek 4.

All three alterations are enforced as Aurele Amenda and Milan van Ewijk are out injured and Taiwo Awoniyi is suspended.

Caleb Yirenkyi, Brandon Thomas-Asante and Stephen Mfuni come into the Sky Blues’ starting line-up.

LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Cunha, Diomande, Murillo, Munoz, Schlager, McAtee, Williams, Gibbs-White, Ndoye, Delap.

Subs: Aina, Dominguez, Hudson-Odoi, Victor, Jesus, Netz, Sangare, Wood, Yates.

Coventry XI: Rushworth, Yirenkyi, Thomas, Pinnock, Mfuni, Dasilva, Grimes, Onyeka, Rudoni, Mason-Clark, Thomas-Asante.

Subs: Bentley, Cherif, Gboho, Hamer, Latibeaudiere, Sakamoto, Simms, Tchaouna, Torp.

    #mufc’s squad to face Fulham:

    - Lammens, Darlow, Mee.

    - Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro, Shaw, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Heaven, Martinez, Dalot.

    - Fernandes, Baleba, Tielemans, Mount, Mainoo, Santos.

    - Lacey, Rashford, Mbeumo, Zirkzee, Cunha.

    Good to see DeLigt back, hopefully he and Baleba gets minutes. Also Shaw back is better than Maz or Dorgu as LB.

    Top 10k Gross owners apparently very lucky due to Pedro injury. Increased EO 27->45% due to autosubs. The Old EO also could have been lower since quite many probably just benched Pedro after hesringuhe doesn't start. And yep, I am a non owner. 😀
