Nottingham Forest are still searching for their first victory under Ange Postecoglou, after the high-profile sacking of former boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Tricky Trees drew 2-2 with Real Betis in the Europa League in midweek, with former Manchester United man Antony rescuing a late point for the La Liga side.

Regis Le Bris' men held FA Cup winners Crystal Palace to a 1-1 draw last weekend and will be looking to build on that display in Nottinghamshire.

Nottingham Forest v Sunderland: Premier League preview

Forest boss Ange Postecoglou will be pleased by what he saw in Spain in midweek, despite the nature of Antony's eventual equaliser late in the contest.

Forest boasted 16 shots and were good value in their first European outing in nearly 30 years, with striker Igor Jesus scoring twice.

The Brazilian will be full of confidence heading into this one, especially given doubts surrounding Chris Wood and just how he fits into this current system at The City Ground.

Sunderland are in inspired form and have eight points from their opening five games so far this season.

The Black Cats will be without Habib Diarra (groin) and he is joined in the treatment room by Romaine Mundle (hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (wrist), Aji Alese (shoulder) and Leo Hjelde (Achilles).

Manager Le Bris was also sent off at Selhurst Park last weekend, so he will begin his three-match suspension for this clash.

With Diarra missing, Chris Rigg or Enzo Le Fee could step in for Sunderland, as they look to continue their impressive start.
