Ipswich are second from bottom in the 2024/25 Premier League table. They are six points from safety after sealing just two points from their previous nine fixtures.

Ipswich Injuries

Defenders Axel Tuanzebe and Wes Burns and goalkeeper Arijanet Muric are out.

Attacking trio Chiedozie Ogbene, Sam Szmodics and Conor Chaplin are also unlikely to feature due to injury.

Forest lost two matches in a row in February at Fulham 2-1 and Newcastle 4-3. They replied with a 0-0 draw against Arsenal and an FA Cup win on penalties over Ipswich following a 1-1 stalemate.

The Midlands side ended their winless streak with a 1-0 home triumph against Man City. Forest attempted four shots on target and Callum Hudson-Odoi struck an 82nd-minute winner.

Nottingham Forest Injuries

Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel is sidelined with an injury.
