Fulham vs Nottingham Forest team news and predicted XI

Nottingham Forest are back in Championship action tonight (Tuesday) with a massive game against league leaders Fulham.

Forest take on Marco Silva's side at Craven Cottage (7.45pm kick-off) as they bid to continue their push for promotion. Fulham have already secured their return to the Premier League and are now looking to clinch the title.

Steve Cooper's Reds, meanwhile, can secure a play-off place with a point in West London, though will be keen to get the win to keep their outside chances of automatic promotion alive. They are currently five points behind second-placed Bournemouth, who visit Swansea City this evening.

Fulham boss Silva is expected to select from an unchanged squad for the visit of Forest, having reported no new injury worries after Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth - but is likely to make one or two changes to his starting line-up.

Antonee Robinson, Jean Michael Seri, Nathaniel Chalobah and Bobby De Cordova-Reid are among those pushing for recalls.

Aleksandar Mitrovic scored his 41st goal of the season at Bournemouth and needs two more to surpass Guy Whittingham’s 42-goal haul from a 46-game second-tier season for Portsmouth in 1992-93.

Forest have injury concerns over striker Lewis Grabban, who was withdrawn 15 minutes after stepping off the bench in Saturday’s win at Peterborough United.

Grabban, who had missed the previous home win against West Brom through illness, looks set to miss out and Sam Surridge is expected to retain his starting place up front.

Aston Villa loanee Keinan Davis (hamstring) is not likely to be available until the play-offs and Max Lowe (groin) is still out.

With Davis out and Grabban a doubt, Sam Surridge will almost certainly lead the line once again after scoring the winner against Peterborough.

Here is our Forest predicted XI to face Fulham: Samba; Worrall, Figueiredo, McKenna; Spence, Yates, Garner, Colback; Zinckernagel; Johnson, Surridge.
