Nottingham Forest face Blackpool at Bloomfield Road this evening in the FA Cup – and we’ve looked at how Nuno Espirito Santo might line his team up.

Forest drew 2-2 with the Tangerines at the City Ground.

Ahead of tonight’s game with the League One outfit, we’ve looked at a predicted Forest team…

Predicted Nottingham Forest team to play Blackpool

The Forest rearguard

It’s come to light this week that Forest boss Espirito Santo will stick with his two goalkeepers this season.

As a result of that, we think that Odysseas Vlachodimos will get another chance to shine tonight.

Defensively, we actually think there will just be a single change and that will come at left-back.

Harry Toffolo was withdrawn at half-time of the first game with Blackpool and Nuno Tavares deserves a chance for his cameo performance.

Joe Worrall, Murillo and Gonzalo Montiel should all keep their places tonight.

The Forest engine room

Forest are set to offload Orel Mangala and as a result, it’s unlikely that he will get another start at Forest.

That means that it’s likely to be the pairing of Danilo and Ryan Yates that started the last game in midfield.

Mangala will likely have to go on the bench, however, with options in short supply at the moment.

Leading the Forest line

It would be ideal to give Chris Wood a little rest tonight but Forest just don’t really have the options to be able to do that.

Behind him, Morgan Gibbs-White is in great form and he should get another start, with Callum Hudson-Odoi playing from the right.

Nicolas Dominguez looks set to slot in on the left-hand side once again as Forest go in search of a win.
