Head coach Steve Cooper has named his Nottingham Forest team to face Fulham in this afternoon’s clash.
The Reds go into the game at Craven Cottage on a five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. They toppled Leeds United 1-0 last time out thanks to Brennan Johnson’s goal, along with a starring performance from debutant Keylor Navas.
That win lifted Forest six points clear of the relegation zone, leaving them 13th in the table ahead of kick-off. Their opponents are eighth, eight points ahead of them.
