Key events
Noise from the department. Ed Aar assesses the opinions of the events that led us to El Casico. Unsurprisingly, not too many people meet in the middle.
Crystal Palace makes two modifications to the team that started qualifying for the conference league against Fredrikstad. Tyrick Mitchell and Chris Richards come for Borna Sosa and Jefferson Lerma.
Nottingham Forest selects exactly the same 11 players who started the 3-1 victory on the opening day against Brentford. They also have the same manager. For the moment.

Preamble
Welcome to our coverage of a resentment match between the team that qualified for the Europa League, but was for the administrative failures of the Conference League, against the team that qualified for the league of conference, but which took the place of the Europa League of the team which qualified for the Europa League, but which was for the administrative failures of the conference league. The Sport Arbitration Court (CAS) has a lot to answer for, in one way or another. The game some have nicknamed El Casico† – There is rarely the opportunity to say this these days, but thank you, the internet- starts at 2 p.m. time in the United Kingdom. It’s on!
† El Casico, however! It’s just up there with it yesterday and Ulysses for things I would have liked to write.
