The Championship meeting at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday will see home team Cardiff City playing against opponents Nottingham Forest, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Cardiff City will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 3-2 Championship losing effort in their last game against Bristol City. It looks as if The Bluebirds will possibly make use of the 3-5-2 formation for this one featuring Alex Smithies, Mark McGuinness, Aden Flint, Sean Morrison, Cody Drameh, Tommy Doyle, Marlon Pack, Will Vaulks, Perry Ng, James Collins and Max Watters.
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Cardiff City boss Steve Morison to contend with from a near full-strength set of players. Joel Bagan is sidelined.
How Cardiff City might line up against Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest will come into the encounter after a 3-0 Championship win over Barnsley in their most recent outing. There’s a good chance that The Reds could decide to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, giving starts to Brice Samba, Ryan Yates, Steve Cook, Scott Mckenna, Djed Spence, James Garner, Jack Colback, Max Lowe, Brennan Johnson, Lewis Grabban and Keinan Davis.
Forest boss Steve Cooper has not got a full squad to pick from. Rodrigo Ely (Muscular problems), Alex Mighten (Knee Injury), Joe Lolley (Knee Injury) and Joe Worrall (Fractured Rib) are those who can’t be considered.
