Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper makes just one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s clash with Bristol City.
The Reds will be looking to get back to winning ways today, as they take on the Robins at the City Ground having registered two successive draws.
An uncharacteristically flat performance saw them have to settle for a goalless stalemate at Preston North End last time out, on Tuesday night.
And that leaves Forest sitting in 10th place in the Championship table ahead of kick-off on the banks of the Trent, with a five-point gap to the play-off spots.
Philip Zinckernagel comes back into the XI for what has the feel of being a crunch fixture as the Reds look to remain in the top-six hunt, with midfielder Ryan Yates dropping to the bench.
Ethan Horvath kept a clean-sheet amid an impressive performance in midweek as he made only his fourth appearance for the club.
And with Brice Samba serving the second of a three-match ban, the American continues between the posts against City.
Just as in the north west, he has a back three of skipper Joe Worrall, Steve Cook and Scott McKenna in front of him, with Djed Spence and Max Lowe as right and left wing-back respectively.
With Yates missing out, James Garner partners Jack Colback in the centre of the pitch, while Zinckernagel is expected to take up the No.10 role, joining Brennan Johnson and Keinan Davis in attack.
Named alongside Yates on the bench are Jordan Smith, Tobias Figueiredo, Sam Surridge, Alex Mighten, Cafu and Joe Lolley.
Forest: Horvath; Worrall, Cook, McKenna; Spence, Colback, Garner, Lowe; Zinckernagel; Johnson, Davis. Subs: Smith, Yates, Figueiredo, Surridge, Mighten, Cafu, Lolley.
