Premier League opening day clash already moved just SIX days after fixtures were released as another sport handed priority

Nottingham Forest's Premier League opening day clash with Brentford has already been rescheduled just six days after the league's fixtures were released.

Nuno Espírito Santo's side were originally set to welcome the Bees on Saturday August 16.

But the encounter has been pushed back a day to avoid it coinciding with The Hundred which is taking place at Trent Bridge.

The stadium, home to the Trent Rockets, is located just 200m away from the City Ground and the game is being pushed back to avoid overcrowding in the city centre.
