Is Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest on TV? Streaming details plus latest injury and team news
Everything you need to know about Sunderland's home clash with Nottingham Forest.
Sunderland must quickly dust themselves off from Sunday’s heartbreaking 4-3 defeat to Aston Villa as they prepare to host Nottingham Forest on Friday.

However, with relegation battlers Forest set to come to the Stadium of Light, Regis Le Bris must pick his players up, with European qualification still a very real possibility for Sunderland. Read on for all the details regarding Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest, including kick-off time, broadcast details and team news.

Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest team news
Sunderland are still carrying a couple of long-term injuries, most notably Bertrand Traore and Romaine Mundle. However, Le Bris will hope to have Omar Alderete available after he was withdrawn against Aston Villa with a knock. Nilson Angulo hasn’t played since the FA Cup defeat to Port Vale due to a muscle injury, but he could also make the squad on Friday evening.
Forest, meanwhile, are without John Victor, Nicolo Savona and Callum Hudson-Odoi for the rest of the season, while Willy Boly isn’t due back until the end of next month. Fellow centre-back Murillo is a doubt after sustaining a knock against Burnley at the weekend and would be a major loss for the Tricky Trees.
- Sunderland predicted XI: Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, O’Nien, Reinildo; Xhaka, Sadiki; Rigg, Diarra, Le Fee; Brobbey.
- Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Morato, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Bakwa, Gibbs-White, Hutchinson; Jesus.
