Team News

Nottingham Forest
Stoke
  • Chris Hughton could make two changes for the visit of Stoke with Anthony Knockaert and Lewis Grabban both in contention for recalls.
  • The home side will be without injured duo Harry Arter and Joe Lolley.
  • James Chester suffered an injury against Coventry in midweek so expect Tommy Smith to fill in as a makeshift centre-back.
  • That change will open up for the return of John Obi Mikel, while striker Steven Fletcher likely to be recalled up top.

Prediction

  • Nottingham Forest had substitute Lewis Grabban to thank in midweek when he levelled the scoreline in the seventh minute of injury time to help the home side claim a draw against Birmingham. Chris Hughton's side have lost just one of their last six league games.
  • Jacob Brown and Sam Clucas both netted for Stoke in the second half of their game against Coventry in midweek, but a leaky defence couldn’t keep out a rampant Coventry attack. The visitors are now winless in four league games and have won just one of their last 13 away from home.
