Nottingham Forest will face Luton Town this weekend looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing couple of games.

The Reds were beaten by both Wigan and Hull in their last two contests and boss Sabri Lamouchi will look to find the winning formula again.

After last weekend’s washout against Reading, Forest will hope to shake any ring-rust off their performance very quickly and race out of the blocks at Kenilworth Road.

Ahead of the game Seat Pitch looked at a predicted line up that Lamouchi could choose against Luton this weekend:

Goalkeeper and back four

The goalkeeper and right-back will pick themselves this weekend. Brice Samba and Matty Cash are both firmly established in their current roles right now.

Joe Worrall will almost certainly keep his place in the Forest line-up to play Luton after starting every league game so far.

The other two spots in the back four aren’t quite as clear cut. Chema Rodriguez and Tobias Figueiredo have been rotated with Figueiredo typically featuring in the away games.

At left-back, Jack Robinson has played the last two games but the energy of Yuri Ribiero could prove a better asset to Lamouchi’s team against Luton.

In midfield

Ben Watson should captain the side with Michael Dawson expected to miss out through injury once again.

Alongside him, Lamouchi might tighten things up by playing the energetic, yet combative performer, Ryan Yates.

The young academy graduate played his first half-an-hour of the season against Hull and looked decent when he came on.

In attack

Forest have a wealth of options to call upon for the attacking positions and it remains to be seen who plays where.

Joe Lolley looks almost certain to keep his place in the team and he should start on the right.

On the left, Sammy Ameobi might have benefitted from a prolonged time without a game and he could get the nod once again.

Joao Carvalho has rarely been left out of the side since his return to fitness but he has often been shoehorned into the team in an unnatured position.

The game at Luton could see the boss utilise him in his natural position behind Lewis Grabban, who looks almost certain to play upfront ahead of Rafa Mir.

Here is how Lamouchi’s team might look on Saturday:
