Nottingham Forest have been warned that Friday night's fixture against Fulham is a 'massive game' following the damaging defeat against the other newly promoted side Bournemouth last time out.
Back at the City Ground and under the lights, head coach Steve Cooper's side have an opportunity to show their resilience by responding 13 days on from their second-half collapse against the managerless Cherries. The Reds remain second-bottom of the Premier League table and only above their East Midlands rivals Leicester City.
After almost a fortnight on the training pitch to work with the club's reshaped squad, Cooper has to prepare his side for the season's surprise side, Fulham. Marco Silva's side have caught the eye by beating Brentford and Brighton and Hove Albion after coming close to taking all three points against Liverpool on the opening day.
