Nottingham Forest will look to get back to winning ways when Hull City arrive at the City Ground tomorrow night.

The Reds were beaten 1-0 at Wigan Athletic on Sunday to bring an end to their 10-match stretch without tasting defeat.

Sabri Lamouchi made five changes to his team yesterday and another reshuffle could be on the cards for tomorrow’s City Ground contest.

Ahead of the game, Seat Pitch looked at a predicted XI that the Forest boss could task with collecting three points against Hull:

Goalkeeper and back four

Brice Samba will certainly continue in goal now he is established between the posts.

At right-back, Matty Cash is the only senior option so should maintain his place in the team.

Yuri Ribeiro will probably drop in at left-back in place of Jack Robinson after the Portuguese performer was utilised further forward at Wigan.

Joe Worrall should keep his ever-present status in the league; whilst Chema Rodriguez could come in for Tobias Figueiredo alongside him.

Midfield

Ben Watson will probably captain the side with Michael Dawson still likely to miss out through the calf injury sustained against Stoke last month.

Tiago Silva looked bright when he was introduced as a substitute in the second half at Wigan and should earn a start.

Joao Carvalho could also earn a starting berth in a 4-1-4-1 system often deployed at home.

In attack

After Rafa Mir struggled in front of goal against Wigan, Lewis Grabban will almost certainly take his place when the Reds return to the City Ground.

Out wide it would appear that Joe Lolley will keep his place in the team, whilst Lamouchi has typically favoured Sammy Ameobi on the opposite flank.

Albert Adomah will compete for a place though and having not started a game since the win over Swansea in September, he is due another opportunity.

Here is how Lamouchi’s team could look:
