Nuno Espirito Santo is back in the Premier League and thrown right in at the deep end for his first game in charge of Nottingham Forest with the former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss playing hosts to the in-form Bournemouth.
The ex-Wolves man is back in England's top flight after the sacking back at Molineux and his dismal time at Tottenham Hotspur that saw him let go within just five months of being at the helm. Nuno was also let go by Al-Ittihad back in November, despite winning 36 of the 56 games he had in charge, totally a 64.29% win rate. The ex-Valencia manager also saw 102 goals scored and 35 let in during his Saudi Arabia spell.
Nuno also arrives at the County Ground with just a five-point gap on Luton Town in 18th and with barely anything to shout about for Forest after experiencing their ninth defeat of the Premier League season last weekend to Nuno's former club Spurs.
As for Bournemouth, they have rocketed themselves all the way up into 14th with a game in hand on those around them, which should they win, would bring the club up to as high as 12th. The Cherries are also unbeaten in the past five games since a thrashing at the Etihad from Manchester City.
This has seen the club go to the top of the form table in the Premier League by beating Newcastle United, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace and drawing with Aston Villa before a famous 3-0 win at Old Trafford over Manchester United.
