Yellow Card Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
17:10
It ends all square at the City Ground, as another pair of quick-fire goals midway through the second half ensure the spoils are shared! Forest took the lead for the first time with their first real chance of the second period, with Danilo on hand to finish off a scrappy move after Gibbs-White had twice looked to have lost the ball in the box. Barely five minutes later though, Wolves drew themselves level in similarly disjointed style, as a set-piece header from Kilman was bundled into the net by Cunha following a spill and a scramble from Forest goalkeeper Sels on the line. Sels' opposite number Sa made a double save from Hudson-Odoi and Danilo straight from the restart, keeping Williams and Hudson-Odoi at bay again as Wolves held on for a point, registering just 1.07 xG to Forest's 1.88. That point means they stay 11th in the table having missed the chance to leapfrog Brighton and Chelsea, while a draw also leaves Forest one precarious point above Luton in the final relegation place.

Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
17:00
Dominguez arrives on the volley after Gibbs-White's corner is headed clear by Wolves, but he can only send his effort skywards from the edge of the box as the final whistle sounds!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:59
Origi skilfully controls a flick-on and gets around the outside of Kilman to cross, but Lemina steps in to block behind for a late, late, late Forest corner.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:57
Williams and Lemina's collision sends the ball looping back towards the Forest box, but Omobamidele holds off the attention of Hwang to safely head it back into Sels' gloves.

Yellow Card Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:54
Forest are on track to drop their 50th and 51st Premier League points from winning positions since the start of last season, unless of course they can find a late winner here!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:54
We're into SIX added minutes at the City Ground, which given what we've seen so far, is more than enough for either side to find that crucial winning goal!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:54
WIDE!!!! Was that THE chance for Forest!!! A glorious throughball from Ribiero puts Origi in behind the chasing Wolves defence. He's got Wood to his left, but the Belgian's attempt resembles neither a shoit or a cross as he drags it miles wide of the left post!!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:52
Aina also comes off late in the day for the hosts, with Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares replacing him at left-back.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:52
Danilo's goal looked to have given Forest the lead early in this half, and the Brazilian's been one of their better performers as Rodrigo Ribiero replaces him late on.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:49
Wood's deflected header yields another corner, which Danilo swings in from the opposite side and is palmed out of the near post by Sa. A third corner flashes right across the face of goal, but Sa commands his defence to leave it as the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Substitution Pablo Sarabia García Nathan John Mark Fraser
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:48
Substitution Nélson Cabral Semedo Tawanda Blessing Chirewa
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:48
BLOCKED!!! Dominguez fires a cutback from the byline which evades a crowd of bodies before coming to Williams at the far post. He shoots low, but it takes a deflection and skews wide of the target to go behind for a Forest corner!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:47
Origi drives and steps his way through several challenges before being taken to ground right on the edge of the box, but the referee waves play on as Wolves come away with possession!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:45
Doyle is put into space by Lemina and tries his luck from 25 yards out, but it's swerving away from goal rather than towards it and draws the jeers of the crowd as the ball sails wide!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:44
SAVED!!! Hudson-Odoi shapes to go out and then cuts in, firing a snap-shot goalwards which rolls across the ground and is collected by Sa at his near post!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:43
SAVED!!! Hudson-Odoi steps inside Semedo and crosses to the far post, where Williams latches onto Kilman's headed clearace with a side-footed volley straight into the gloves of Sa!

Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:38
Yellow Card Morgan Anthony Gibbs-White
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:38
CHANCE!! Hudson-Odoi and Gibbs-White combine once more as the playmaker scoops a delightful pass over the top of the Wolves defence. Hudson-Odoi bears down on goal and is about to get a shot away, but Sa darts off his line to parry it away from the winger's feet!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:38
Substitution Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha Boubacar Traoré
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:36
Hudson-Odoi cuts inside from the left edge and plays a one-two with Gibbs-White to create shooting space on the edge of the box, but the latter's return pass is behind the winger and Hudson-Odoi instead has to look to his right for better attacking options.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:33
Aina looks to spark a Forest attack on his own and goes shoulder-to-shoulder with Semedo, but the Wolves wing-back does enough to force the Nigeria international wide and behind for a goal-kick.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:33
Substitution Giovanni Alejandro Reyna Divock Okoth Origi
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:33
Excluding penalties, Nottingham Forest have now conceded a league-high 22 goals from set piece situations this season. Meanwhile, Wolves have scored 13 of their 46 goals from set pieces this term!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:30
Another Forest corner is fired right into Sa's goalmouth by Danilo, and the Wolves man punches half-clear. Reyna heads back towards goal, but it loops straight into the goalkeeper's gloves!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:29
SAVED!!!! Sa prevents Wolves from conceding immediately!! Kilman's poor touch lets Hudson-Odoi run in behind the defence, but the goalkeeper's off his line to parry the winger's shot away from danger. Forest recycle possession and it comes to Danilo just intisde the box, but Sa's there again to tip his curling strike around the outside of the far post!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:27
Substitution Ryan James Yates Nicolás Martín Domínguez
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:24
Since the start of last season, Nottingham Forest have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side (48), but are on course to do the reverse of that this time around!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:23
Goal Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:20
Substitution Matthew James Doherty Hee-Chan Hwang
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:19
On course to break his highest Premier League goals tally in a single season (14), Wood has hardly had a sniff up front for Forest so far and hardly looked likely to add to his 12 in 2023-24 so far.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:19
Goal Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:17
The Forest free-kick is swung into Wolves' box by Reya, but Wood can't make anything of it and Cunha clears with both sides still struggling to build up any sort of attacking momentum.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:14
Williams and Toti Gomes collide on the ball and both have stayed down with dead legs, but they're eventually back to their feet and get things back up and running.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:14
Yellow Card João Victor Gomes da Silva
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:13
The scrappiness of the first half has continued into the second so far, with Hudson-Odoi needlessly shunting Semedo to ground and conceding a needless free-kick on the touchline.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:11
Forest are looking for their first league win in games between the two clubs since January 2018 in the Championship, with Wolves outscoring the hosts 3-2 during their three-game Premier League unbeaten streak.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:07
We're back for the second half, and with the win probability for both sides barely changing (31.8 per cent for Forest, 27.7 for Wolves), the final result is anyone's guess as Cunha kicks off for Wolves.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
16:05
Gibbs-White has stood up for Forest against his former employers, heading in the equaliser despite the chance having just 0.1 xG behind it. He's completed seven final-third passes so far, as well as winning half of his eight on-the-ball duels, and two free-kicks in the process as Wolves keep a close eye on their ex-academy midfielder.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:58
A lively and end-to-end battle between these two sides is level at the break, with both scoring very late in the first half! Forest had the majority of possession and saw several chances for Yates, Hudson-Odoi, Reyna and Williams all go begging, while Murillo bailed them out at the other end following an error from the captain. However, Wolves would take the lead against the run of play, Cunha latching onto goalkeeper Sa's forward throw and beating two defenders before rifling a fizzing shot into the top corner! The hosts didn't stay down for long though, as former Wolf Gibbs-White headed in a corner from close range to draw Forest level in stoppage time, and that goal sets up a second half which is far too close to call at present.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:53
HALF-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-1 WOLVES.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:53

15:48
Cunha draws level with Hwang at the top of Wolves' scoring charts this season, returning from injury to notch his 10th league goal of the campaign!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:48
Forest look to hit straight back as Aina beats Semedo to cross from the left. It's taken down by Williams on the opposite side, whose ball back into the box deflects behind off Doherty for a Forest corner!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:43
Goal Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:41
Reyna's ball into the box from a free-kick is cleared as far as Murillo, who has Hudson-Odoi in support to his left. He crosses towards Yates, but Sa's there to make the catch at his near post.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:40
WIDE!!! Reyna turns in the middle and sends Williams surging into the box with a chance to shoot. He lets fly under pressure from Doherty, but can't find the target as his shot is blasted behind for a goal-kick!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:38
Doyle fizzes the ball across the face of goal from deep, but neither Cunha nor Doherty can produce a shot or keep it in play at the far post.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:37
Wolves are unbeaten in their last five away league games against Forest, since losing 3-1 in the Championship back in March 2013.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:35
Gibbs-White brings down a Forest throw-in on the turn and looks to link up with Reyna and Yates, but the latter is dispossessed and Joao Gomes comes away on the counter for Wolves.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:31
Yellow Card Mario René Junior Lemina
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:30
OFF THE LINE!!!! Forest are let off the hook after a huge error!!! Yates' errant pass goes straight to Joao Gomes and the midfielder curls a shot goalwards. Murillo races back to head it off the line with a superhuman effort, and Sarabia arriving on the follow-up can only send the rebound wide of the far post!!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:28
Sarabis' scooped pass sends Semedo galloping into open pasture down the right, but his cross from the edge of the box is plucked out of the sky by Sels!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:27
Cunha is played into space down the right and fires an early shot goalwards from just inside the box, but it flashes over the top and doesn't trouble Sels at all!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:27
WIDE!!!! Reyna latches onto a loose Semedo pass at the back and bears down on goal, sending a 20-yard strike along the ground and just to the wrong side of Sa's right-hand post!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:25
Following their 3-1 win against Fulham last time out at the City Ground, Forest are looking to win consecutive home league games for the first time since a run of four between April and August last year.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:24
Gibbs-White looks to play Wood through on goal with a cross-field pass into the box, but Sa's well off his line to gather before the New Zealander can get ahead of steam.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:22
Sarabia tries to play Doherty in behind the defence, but Omobamidele gets across at speed to beat his international team-mate to the ball and knock it away as Williams prevents the corner.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:22
Wolves have kept just two clean sheets in their last 32 Premier League away games, with both of those coming this season in a 1-0 win at Everton and most recently a 0-0 draw at Brighton in January.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:20
BLOCKED!!! Another scramble in the Wolves box!! Reyna somehow manages to squeeze the ball through the crowd with Danilo in support, but his effort from right in front is sent looping up into the air and down into Sa's grasp thanks to a timely block from Toti Gomes!!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:19
OVER!!! Another Forest corner causes a scramble in the Wolves box, with Sa's punch not enough to clear the danger. It comes to Hudson-Odoi, who rides several challenges before sending a close-range shot over the bar!!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:18
Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi look to play a one-two down the left-hand side, but Forest's number 10 can't get on the end of the return ball as Lemina slides in to scythe it away!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:16
SAVED!!!! Hudson-Odoi latches onto Murillo's cross-field pass and cuts inside looking to shoot. He's soon crowded out by a pack of Wolves players, but can find Yates, whose low 25-yard strike takes a nick before being saved and held by Sa!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:14
No side has lost more Premier League games this calendar year than Forest (seven), with only Burnley (eight) and Sheffield United (seven) earning points than the Reds' nine so far in 2024.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:13
Doyle is given room to shoot and has Wolves' first sight of goal from the edge of the box, but it's always rising and clears Sels' crossbar by some distance.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:10
Space opens up again for Yates on the edge of the box, but Kilman's in the way of his snap-shot and Wolves will recover possession in their own defensive third.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:10
Danilo's delivery from the Forest corner is whipped right into the centre and clawed out of the goalmouth by Sa, before Sarabia brings it away on the counter for Wolves!

Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:06
BLOCKED!! Williams' cross into the centre is chested down by Wood, whose attempted shot is blocked by Bueno and scrambled away from the goalmouth by Toti Gomes!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:04
Forest have won just one of their last 10 league games against Wolves, losing five times, and are winless in all three such Premier League fixtures.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:02
Yates kicks the game off for Forest, and this battle of the east and west Midlands is up and running!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
15:01
The teams are lined up in the City Ground tunnel ahead of kick-off, and head out onto the pitch amidst a raucous atmosphere of red and white scarves!
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:48
Wolves’ attacking stocks have been bolstered by the returns from injury of Hwang Hee-Chan and Matheus Cunha, with the latter leading the line and Hwang on the bench. Cunha replaces Rayan Ait-Nouri in the squad and starting XI, and spearheads a front three also including Tommy Doyle and Pablo Sarabia.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:48
Forest make a solitary change from their past two matches after Anthony Elanga picked up an injury. That means Callum Hudson-Odoi switches to the right-hand side of their midfield. and Giovanni Reyna comes in on the left, both of whom will be looking to provide in-form Chris Wood with plenty of attacking ammunition.

Wolves lie 11th, comfortably clear of the relegation battle and knowing a win at the City Ground could take them into the top half of the table. The Wanderers’ form in 2024 has been inconsistent though, and they’re without a win in three, losing late on in highly controversial circumstances to West Ham last time out.
Nottingham Forest vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
14:38
Forest couldn’t build on their strong showing in a 3-1 victory over Fulham and lost by the same scoreline to Tottenham last time out. With a four-point deduction for financial fair play breaches taking the Reds down to within just four goals difference of the relegation zone, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side need to return to the winners’ circle as soon as possible to avoid being dragged over to the wrong side of the dotted line.
