Queens Park Rangers host the Reds at Loftus Road on Saturday 12th, a lunchtime kick-off as clubs return after the international break.
The R's have started the season solidly after relegation last time around and will still have star man Charlie Austin in their ranks after the closure of the transfer window.
Then Forest travel to Birmingham City on Tuesday 15th before another lunchtime date in front of the cameras at home to a Middlesbrough side fancied for promotion after just missing out last season and some hefty spending over the summer.
The month ends with some Thursday night football, the trip to Huddersfield rescheduled for the Reds' third appearance in quick sucession on Sky. Will the Terriers have permission to play on-loan winger Jamie Paterson in this one?
