Nottingham Forest are taking on Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday in the club’s second pre-season friendly.
Oliver Glasner’s first game ended in a 2-0 win for Forest against local rivals Notts County.
Igor Jesus and Arnaud Kalimuendo scored the goals for the Reds at Meadow Lane, and Wednesday’s game takes place at the team’s training camp in Portugal.
Ahead of the pre-season clash, we’ve looked at how Forest might line up for the game.
What message would you send to George Syrianos as he gets to work in his new role replacing Edu? Are you happy with the decision?

Nottingham Forest team that could start against Blackburn
Matz Sels played the first half at Notts County, and perhaps John Victor will come in for a start from the off in this one.
Glasner might utilise a back three for this one with Zach Abbott playing on the right, Nikola Milenkovic in the middle and Morato on the left.
The wing-backs in Glasner’s system will be very important, and here we could see Ola Aina and Neco Williams for the first time in tandem during this pre-season.
In midfield, Forest will still hope to add a player or two to the ranks and with Ibrahim Sangare still on holiday, it looks likely that Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez will start.
In the final third, we could see Arnaud Kalimuendo start for the first time in pre-season.
Is there anyone you’d like to see get minutes for Nottingham Forest against Blackburn Rovers?
He is tipped to leave still, but for now, he will continue to get more minutes in the Forest team.
Behind him, we could see two number 10s pivoting with Morgan Gibbs-White and James McAtee starting the contest in tandem.
Once again it’s likely to be two different teams that play for Forest against Blackburn but Glasner will want to see more progress from his players out on the pitch.
