The Championship game at The City Ground on Saturday sees home team Nottingham Forest take to the field against visiting opponents, Reading, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Nottingham Forest are hoping to win again following the 2-1 FA Cup success versus Huddersfield Town. In our view, The Reds should use the 3-5-2 system in the match, utilising Brice Samba, Joe Worrall, Scott Mckenna, Steve Cook, Djed Spence, James Garner, Philip Zinckernagel, Ryan Yates, Max Lowe, Brennan Johnson and Sam Surridge.
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Nottingham Forest gaffer Steve Cooper to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Lewis Grabban will miss out.
How Nottingham Forest might line up vs Reading
Following on from being beaten in their last game against Millwall in Championship action, Reading and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. We are inclined to think that The Royals will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Luke Southwood, Andy Yiadom, Michael Morrison, Tom Holmes, Tom McIntyre, Daniel Drinkwater, Andy Rinomhota, Thomas Ince, John Swift, Ovie Ejaria and Yakou Méïté.
Reading manager Paul Ince has some current player fitness concerns. Femi Azeez (Ankle Injury), Felipe Araruna (Knee Injury), Abdul-Rahman Baba (Hamstring Injury) and Dejan Tetek (Hamstring Injury) will miss out on this game. Junior Hoilett cannot play in this game through suspension.
