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.

    No way Delap committed a could just before. No way Munoz should get done there no matter how well Da Silva does.

    I warned all of you to avoid Nottingham forest players when everyone was jumping on the bandwagon. FPL needs to give me a weekly article slot where i tell you all the truth contrary to the template or suggestions of the other fpl writers.

    I also said arsenal will lose at Brighton this week..

    FPL where are you at?

    1. Biggsy

  25. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    1 hour, 38 mins ago

    Gross third on bench has more points than my entire team combined. Cala, Raya, Solis started for me. And IJ's points were just cleared off the line. This is going swimmingly. Rage WC incoming.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      1 hour, 38 mins ago

      Tzolis, even.

    Delap isn't very good really is he?!

    1. Ignasi M
      • 9 Years
      1 hour, 37 mins ago

      No. He never has been. Even at Luton he was just an average striker.

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 29 mins ago

      He’s a calamity and always a kick away from a yellow and two kicks away from a red

  27. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 hour, 38 mins ago

    Bobby Thomas should get a +5 for Goal Prevented

    This kid is a player

  28. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 hour, 37 mins ago

    Wildcard. Sold Ajer, Thomas, Rushworth, benched Gross, switched Tarkowski to Munoz last minute.
