Key Nottingham Forest decision made for Man City and Tottenham clashes

Nottingham Forest have had five fixtures rearranged after the Premier League confirmed their live television fixture schedule for August and September.

The Reds will mark their return to the Premier League on August 6 away at Newcastle United after defeating Huddersfield Town 1-0 in the Championship play-off final in May.

With just over a month until the start of the 2022/23 season, the Premier League have changed the dates of five Forest games. Four of the five games will be live on television on Sky Sports and BT Sport.

Steve Cooper 's side's first Premier League game at the City Ground since May 1999 will now take place on Sunday, August 14 at 2pm on Sky Sports, with West Ham United making the 139 mile round- trip.

The trip to Everton on August 20 remains a 3pm kick-off, whilst Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur will take on the Reds in Nottingham on Sunday, 28 August. The game against Spurs will take place at 4:30pm, on Sky Sports, after Wolves' home game with Newcastle United.

Forest's first game shown live on BT Sport is a tricky trip to champions Manchester City. The first mid-week round of fixtures take place between Tuesday 30 August to Thursday 1 September, with Forest travelling to the Etihad Stadium for the first time since January 2009 - a 3-0 FA Cup victory under John Pemberton.

AFC Bournemouth will be the Reds' first opponents to visit City Ground for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, September 3, before the trip to Leeds United which will be their first fixture of the season to be shown on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football which now kicks off on September 12 at 8pm.

Finally, with the final of the 2022 Royal London One-Day Cup taking place on Saturday, September 17 at Trent Bridge, fellow top-flight newcomers Fulham will now visit the City Ground on the Friday at 8pm - this fixture is not on television due to Aston Villa vs Southampton taking place on the same evening.
