“It's a huge football match in the context of the relegation battle,” said Merson in his Premier League predictions column for Sportskeeda. “It's a must-win game for Nottingham Forest. It's a must-not-lose game for Sheffield. Forest don't want to be in the relegation battle and they actually did well last weekend against Arsenal.
“If Brennan Johnson hadn't fluffed a sitter in the 11th minute of the game, they might have even drawn against Arsenal. Who knows! “This is going to be a very crucial match despite how early it is in the season. If Sheffield United get beat, you have to wonder, where are they going to get a positive result from?”What's your score prediction? Tell us here
