Home
Nottingham Forest
A solid mid-table side. Forest are hard to break down in front of their own fans at City Ground, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.
Away, promoted this season
Hull City
Still adjusting to the top flight, Hull will probably defend in numbers on the road at City Ground and pick their moments to break.
