Steve Cooper will be hoping for his first points of the season as Nottingham Forest take on Sheffield United at the City Ground on Friday night. Unfortuately, the game is not available to watch in the UK.
The game was originally set for Saturday afternoon, but due to two cricket matches being held at Trent Bridge, the Premier League contest was moved to Friday evening to avoid congestion. The City Ground is less than a mile away from the cricket ground, so it was deemed necessary for the fixture to be rearranged.
Unfortunately, as the original 3pm kick-off was not initially selected by any of the Premier League's broadcast rights holders to be shown live, it cannot be added to their schedules despite it moving to a different date and time.
Both Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United have suffered defeats in their opening Premier League games of the season - Forest lost 2-1 at Arsenal and the Blades were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace. One or both of the teams will pick up points for the first time this campaign on Friday night, however, we will not be watching it live in the UK.
Although it would have been great to watch this fixture live, it is understandable that the Premier League had to rearrange it to avoid congestion. We look forward to seeing who will be the first to pick up points this season.
