Substitution Antoine Serlom Semenyo Marcus Joseph Tavernier

Forest enjoyed most of the possession during the first half (55.5 per cent) and all five of their shots were on target. The visitors much continue in that vein if they are to potentially complete the turnaround here.

Yellow Card Marcos Nicolás Senesi Barón

Yates, Hudson-Odoi, Elanga and Awoniyi are also back in the starting XI, while loan signings Reyna and Ribeiro could make their debuts from the bench, where Niakhate returns from the Africa Cup of Nations. The Reds are without Divock Origi and Chris Wood due to injury, with Ola Aina, Willy Boly, Serge Aurier and Ibrahim Sangare away on international duty.
