That day against West Ham was difficult for us. We trust, we have learned plenty. At this point we need to begin picking up results.”

Again missing Chris Wood for Forest, as Matz Sels, Murillo, Anderson plus Dan Ndoye return.
Lukas Nmecha comes in for the goal-shy Dominic Calvert-Lewin, that struggled at Brighton in the previous round.
