"Nottingham Forest have lost their opening match of a league season in six of their last eight campaigns (W1 D1), while they've only won one of their last 12 home league matches (D7 L4). Only Ibrahim Sangaré (10) recorded more line-breaking passes for both sets of players than Murillo (9), while the Brazilian recorded the joint-most in the final third (5).
"James Trafford is a good player, but he hasn't played that many Premier League games, Tarik too. Harry Wilson, too, was excellent. On playing Nottingham Forest again on Tuesday: "It's what happens in football, at least we can travel in a good mood."
