Blackpool Injuries & Team News


Forwards Jake Beesley and Kylian Kouassi and defender Matthew Pennington are out.

Nottingham Forest Form


New Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has made a strong start in his opening four matches in charge.

Espirito Santo lost his first match at home against Bournemouth (3-2). This result was followed by wins against Newcastle (3-1), Man United (2-1) and a draw with Blackpool (2-2).

The Reds were 2-0 down after 27 minutes against Blackpool in the FA Cup. Forest hit back with 17 shots and Nicolás Domínguez and Morgan Gibbs-White levelled the score.

Nottingham Forest Injuries & Team News


Defenders Serge Aurier, Ola Aina, Willy Boly and Moussa Niakhate are on AFCON duty.

Midfielders Cheikhou Kouyate and Ibrahim Sangare are also unavailable due to international duty.

Striker Taiwo Awoniyi and Felipe are ruled out. 

Verdict

Blackpool face their 10th match within a month and tiredness is likely to catch up with the Tangerines. Forest have had time to develop under Espirito Santo and the Reds can notch an FA Cup victory.
