Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is in action this evening.
Elliot Anderson is expected to start for England against Croatia at the World Cup.
Anderson will most likely partner with Declan Rice in the middle of the park in Dallas, Texas, so Nottingham Forest fans will have a close eye on how he gets on.

Interestingly, if the 23-year-old does start for Thomas Tuchel’s side, he will break a Forest record that’s stood for 36 years.

Anderson is set to become the first Nottingham Forest player to represent England at the World Cup since 1990.
Former Forest stars Stuart Pearce and Des Walker were part of the Three Lions team which reached the semi-finals at Italia 90.
Since then, there hasn’t been an active Tricky Trees player who has even played a single minute for England at a World Cup.

So, it’s quite the achievement for Anderson and the club, evincing how far they’ve come from those miserable days in EFL.
Unfortunately, Anderson may not be an active Forest player for much longer though, as he is expected to join Manchester City.
Man City will have to break the British transfer record to sign Anderson, as Evangelos Marinakis wants £120m in guaranteed payments.
Manchester United are also in the race, although they are unlikely to meet Marinakis’ demands.
Michael Carrick’s side have already seemingly turned their focus to West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who is valued at around £80m.
