Sean Dyche takes charge of his first match for Nottingham Forest as his new side face Porto in the Europa League.

Former Forest boss Ange Postecoglou failed to win any of his eight games in his 39 days at the club so Dyche will be looking to get them back to winning ways.

Recent form

Forest have not won any of their last eight fixtures, most recently losing 3-0 to Chelsea in what would be Postecoglou’s final match managing the club.

In their opening two Europa League fixtures they drew 2-2 with Real Betis at home in what was a good start to the campaign, but then lost 3-2 at home against FC Midjtylland in their first home European fixture in 30 years.

Unlike Nottingham Forest, Porto are in good form going into this match. They have won both their opening Europa League fixtures so far against RB Salzburg and Crvena zvezda, and their most recent league result was a strong 0-0 draw with title rivals Benfica.

What’s been said?

Forest boss Dyche is very keen to get the side back to winning ways after eight games without a win.

“We need to get back to winnings ways. I won’t bore people with the stats but they weren’t winning at the end of last season particularly. Maybe run out of steam, it was a big season.”

“It hasn’t been a great start to this season, we understand that, so there were a few signs about what was needed and the changes.”
