Wolverhampton Wanderers hit the road as they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground for a Premier League contest on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties earlier this week, but the Tricky Trees will aim to rebound as they welcome Wolves to the Premier League on Saturday.
The visitors are still searching for their first point of the season after suffering consecutive league defeats.
Forest began their campaign with a draw against Bournemouth, followed by a victory over Southampton in their second match.
Now, they prepare to take on Wolves, who secured a midweek Carabao Cup win against Burnley. Recent encounters between these two sides have been closely contested.
