Team News
Tiago Silva, Joao Carvalho and Lewis Grabban could all return to the starting line-up after being left out of the defeat at Wigan.
Alfa Semedo and Samba Sow are still unavailable for the Reds, whilst Michael Dawson is rated doubtful.
Central defender Jordy de Wijs has an ankle knock so Ryan Tafazolli will continue at the heart of the back four.
Jon Toral is back in contention for the visitors after a bright cameo appearance at the weekend.
Match Preview
Forest lost their 10-match unbeaten run at the weekend when a Jamal Lowe goal saw Wigan Athletic over the line at the DW Stadium.
The Reds had not tasted defeat since the opening day of the campaign when West Brom won 2-1 at the City Ground.

The challenge for boss Sabri Lamouchi now is to bounce back in strong fashion and a home double-header this week starts with a visit from Hull City.
Forest’s boss rung the changes on Sunday and it backfired somewhat. He will probably make some more changes tomorrow night and he will hope to oversee a return to winning ways.
Hull were beaten 3-2 by Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, their second defeat in succession.
What is perhaps more worrying for boss Grant McCann is that it was the second game on the trot where his side has shipped three goals.
Their last win came against Sheffield Wednesday and McCann will hope to get back on track in the East Midlands tomorrow night.
An inspired Joao Carvalho substitute appearances helped Forest to a 3-0 win in this fixture last season and more of the same would be welcomed from a Forest perspective tomorrow night.
Predicted Line-ups
Forest: (4-1-4-1): Samba; Cash, Worrall, Rodriguez, Ribeiro; Watson; Lolley, Carvalho, Silva, Ameobi; Grabban
Hull: (4-4-1-1): Long; Lichaj, Burke, Tafazolli, Elder; Bowen, Stewart, Irvine, Grosicki; Toral; Magennis
One to watch
Jarrod Bowen is a player who Forest must keep a close eye on tomorrow night under the City Ground floodlights.
Both Southampton and Newcastle are reportedly interested in his services, with Hull valuing him at £20 million (Express).
The 22-year-old has netted six goals and registered two assists so far this season and Forest will need to be mindful of the right-winger.
Tickets
The City Ground is edging towards another sell-out, although tickets do remain on sale from the ticket office.
