Nottingham Forest take on Manchester United in a crunch Premier League clash at the City Ground on Sunday (4.30pm kick-off).
Forest are fighting for their top flight survival, while United are looking to secure a Champions League spot. Steve Cooper's Reds begin the weekend inside the relegation zone on goal difference, just behind Everton, while Erik ten Hag's side are fourth, three points ahead of Tottenham with a game in hand.
Forest saw centre-back Moussa Niakhate and midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate both forced off by hamstring problems during the defeat at Aston Villa. Emmanuel Dennis and Scott McKenna continue to be monitored after being among the substitutes. Renan Lodi and Gustavo Scarpa have also been added to the mounting injury list, with Serge Aurier, Ryan Yates, Chris Wood, Willy Boly, Dean Henderson, Omar Richards and Giulian Biancone also absent.

United will be without first-choice centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane, but Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay could return. Striker Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Donny van de Beek remain sidelined.
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has written off Forest's chances of getting anything from this weekend's game, predicting a 2-0 United win. He also pondered whether another defeat would prompt club owner Evangelos Marinakis to make a decision on Cooper's future.
"This should be a Manchester United win," Lawrenson told Paddy Power. "If that happens it will be interesting to see if the Nottingham Forest owner pulls the trigger. It would be hard on Steve Cooper to be fair."
