Is Nottingham Forest v Porto on TV? Channel, start time and how to watch Europa League online

Sean Dyche begins his reign at the City Ground with a testing Europa League fixture

Things at Nottingham Forest 'not far wrong' - new manager Dyche

Sean Dyche will begin his reign as manager of Nottingham Forest with the visit of Porto in the Europa League.

Dyche signed a two-year deal at the club after Ange Postecoglou was sacked over the weekend in the aftermath of a heavy defeat by Chelsea.

Postecoglou’s brief, torrid time in charge left Forest 18th in the Premier League and 25th in the Europa League standings, and the team are still searching for their first win in the European competition this season.

That will be no easy task against Francesco Farioli’s Porto, who are top of the Primeira Liga and have won both of their opening Europa League games.

Here is everything you need to know.

When does the game start?

Nottingham Forest v Porto kicks off at 8pm BST at the City Ground.

TV channel and how to watch online

The match will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports. Subscribers can stream online via the TNT Sports app and website.

Team news

Ola Aina is recovering from hamstring surgery but otherwise Dyche has plenty of players to pick from.

"There was a nice edge to (the players) in our first session, and we want to keep that going and take those plans into the schedule," Dyche said ahead of the game. "We've reminded them how good they are, what they've already achieved, and how we can build on that to bring consistency."

Porto are without Luuk de Jong and Nehuen Perez are out with knee injuries.

Predicted line-up

Nottingham Forest: Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Zinchenko; Ndoye, Yates, Anderson, Gibbs-White; Hudson-Odoi, Wood.
