Sunderland had an absolutely atrocious pre-season, so I've stuck a West Ham win in my 5-fold on the back of that.
Naturally they will have learnt much more from their friendlies than we learnt from ours and will storm into a 4-0 lead by half time and add to twice in the second half.

You can forget Summerville for at least a month, by all accounts. 2-1 to us. Bowen and Full Rug.
Ah yes, of course. Well, based on the little I've seen, put Diouf in his place and play Walker-Peters at left wing back, then I'll go for a 2-0 to us.

Areola
Todibo Kilman Aguerd
Wan Bissaka Diouf
Alvarez Kanté
Bowen Fullkrug Summerville
That team beats Sunderland if we really must insist on playing a back 3 with wing backs.

Well, here we go again. First up...away at big spending, aspirational, newly promoted Sunderland and their 'Stadium of Light' (I always thought that was Benfica myself).
Potter at least seems to have a plan...although it still smacks of crab ball...but maybe it will come good with a few more weeks. But this game is crucial, with a tough game Vs Chelsea after, Forest away leading up to the international break.
It seems our midfield will be 'as is'...so that leaves the only real decision to be Potts or Soucek in the side...although maybe Potter will be ruthless and unceremoniously dump Areola for Hermansen.
Score for me...reckon we sneak a draw here. 1-1.
Predicted Lineup (3-1-4-2):
Areola
Todibo Kilman Aguerd
JWP
Wan Bissaka Soucek Paqueta Diouf
Bowen Fullkrug
COYI!

Gone for a an opening day feel good Away win. We've got the firepower to take down a newly promoted Team. Think it will be close though. 1-2
