In the 2022/23 season, the teams that lost the category and will play in the Championship are Southampton, Leeds and Leicester. On the other hand, the teams that managed to be promoted and will participate in the Premier League 23/24 are Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town.

A Champions League champion has made a formal offer to sign Wilmar Barrios. According to Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest, a Premier League team that won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980, presented a proposal to Zenit St. Petersburg for the transfer of the Colombian in this transfer window.
However, the Russian club considered it insufficient. The offer made from England would be far from what Zenit wanted, which would expect an amount four times higher to release the 29-year-old player.

The Premier League tournament will culminate with its 38th matchday on Sunday, May 19. This date will precede the UEFA Champions League final, which will take place on June 1 at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London. In addition, the finals of the UEFA Europa League will be held in Dublin and the UEFA Conference League at a venue yet to be determined.

At the moment, Nottingham Forest, which was promoted last season, is close to achieving a feat by trying to sign Roma, a club that usually competes in European tournaments and reached the final of last year's Europa League.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Tricky Trees are willing to invest significantly to secure Roger Ibañez. The Reds plan to submit a bid of €25 million to persuade the Giallorossi.

During the season, there will be five breaks corresponding to FIFA dates. These breaks will take place from Monday to Wednesday 12 September 2023, Monday 9 to Wednesday 17 October 2023, Monday 13 to Tuesday 21 November 2023, Monday 18 to Tuesday 26 March 2024, and Monday 3 to Wednesday 11 June 2024. These dates roughly coincide with the European Championship in Germany, which will be held from June 14 to July 14, 2024.

The wait for the Premier League is over, the soccer actions are back with all the emotions that come with them, more goals, more controversy and above all more soccer between different teams in England. In this match Nottingham vs Sheffield United will face each other as part of the second day of the Premier League 2023/24 where the second three points of the championship are at stake.

This is the start time of the game Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United of 11th August in several countries:

For this match, the player to watch will be Nottingham Forest's iconic center forward Chris Wood.

E. Horvath; D. McKenna, J. Worrall, W. Boly; O. Aina, O. Mangala, R. Yates, S. Aurier; M. Gibbs-White, C. Wood, Danilo. 

For this match, the player to watch will be Sheffield United's iconic center forward William Osula. The Danish striker is always a latent danger in the box, whether or not he has the ball under his control, so opposing defenses must always be alert as William Osula knows how to sneak between the defensive lines to get unmarked and score a goal for Sheffield United.

Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United have met on a total of 122 occasions (46 Nottingham Forest wins, 32 draws, 44 Sheffield United wins) with the scales tipping in favor of the Forest side. In terms of goals, 168 goals have gone Nottingham's way, while 156 have gone the Blades' way. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 36 of the 2021/2022 season in the Championship where Sheffield United drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest. 

The City Ground is a soccer stadium located in West Bridgford, Nottingham, England. It is the home of Nottingham Forest Football Club, a soccer club with a rich history and tradition in English soccer. The stadium was opened in 1898 and has been the home of Nottingham Forest ever since.

Over the years, it has witnessed numerous iconic moments in soccer history, including Nottingham Forest's successes in the 1970s and 1980s, when the team won two European Cups under Brian Clough.

The stadium has undergone several renovations and refurbishments over the years. In its current form, it has a capacity of around 30,000 spectators, although this figure may vary depending on the modifications made.

On the other hand, Sheffield United come into this match as the second top club from last season in the Championship after taking second place overall and thus clinching the qualifying ticket to the 2023/2024 Premier League. Sheffield United's first objective will be to stay in the first division and not be fighting in the bottom half of the table at the end of the campaign, however, the "Blades" club will have the opportunity to surprise and try to sneak into the mid-table places.

Nottingham Forest achieved last year's goal, which was to stay in the Premier League, avoiding relegation last season, however, once again all the clubs are putting their stay in the top flight of English soccer at stake. This season, the "Forest" will have to prove that they have the quality to continue playing in the Premier League and fight for a better position in the general table, since if they return to the performance of last season, Nottingham could be fighting for relegation at the end of the season.

The wait is finally over in England and for the rest of the world, the most exciting league in the world is back with the best players, the anthology goals, the most debated controversies and the best atmosphere that can exist in European soccer, the Premier League is back. In the months leading up to this opening day, teams have been working tirelessly on their preparations, fine-tuning their tactics and forging connections on the pitch. Summer signings have injected new energy into the squads, and hopes are at an all-time high for all clubs, from title contenders to newly promoted sides dreaming of making a mark in the elite league. As the season gets underway, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest will face off at the City Ground in what will be the opening match of Matchday 2 in England, where the "Forest" will be looking for their first home win against the "Blades", already familiar rivals in the Championship.

The Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United match will be played at City Ground, in Nottingham Forest, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 14:45 pm ET.
