Nottingham Forest face their final mid-season test this evening before the return of competitive football next week.
Steve Cooper's side have already played Championship side Stoke City as well as Greek opponents Atromitos and fellow Evangelos Marinakis -owned club Olympiacos this month as preparations for the return of domestic football ramped up. The Reds have lost all three matches so far all by the odd goal - 2-1 to Stoke, 3-2 to Chris Coleman's Atromitos and 1-0 to Olympiacos after a goal by former Forest loanee Pajtim Kasami.
Following this friendly, the Reds return to competitive action with a Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Blackburn Rovers on December 21. Six days later, they return to Premier League football on the day after Boxing Day, taking on Manchester United at Old Trafford.
