Nottingham Forest are the visitors today in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. There’s live coverage on BBC 1 starting at 2.45pm.
Key central defender Ryan Bennet has been back in training this week and is in contention to start after being out with a hamstring injury.
So is new signing midfielder Conor Hourihane. Another new signing, back-up goalkeeper Ben Hamer, is cup tied having played in the last round for Huddersfield. First choice Freddie Woodman will continue in goal with young Lewis Webb on the bench. Goalkeeper Steven Benda, Brandon Cooper and Tivonge Rushesha are out with long-term injuries.
Forest saw their seven match unbeaten run come to an end on Wed night, losing 1-2 at home to Middlesboro and will be looking to bounce back today. In the last round they beat Cardiff.
They will be without Yuri Ribeiro who is suspended and Ryan Yates with a calf injury. Fouad Bachirou returns to the squad from injury.
New manager Chris Hughton is expected to make changes to the side from the Boro match, so Joe Lolley, Anthony Knockaert and Lyle Taylor will all be in contention for a start.
Forest Transfer news, and ex-West Brom midfielder Filip Krovinovic has signed on loan from Benfica yesterday but is ineligible for today’s match.
