Ange Postecoglou is looking for his first win as Nottingham Forest boss as the Tricky Trees entertain Sunderland this evening.
Kick-off at the City Ground is at 5.30pm BST.
TEAM NEWS
Postecoglou makes five changes from Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Real Betis.
The headline news is that Chris Wood starts, with Igor Jesus having to settle for a place on the bench despite his two-goal heroics in midweek.
Also among the substitutes is Morgan Gibbs-White as James McAtee makes his first league start for Forest.
Nicolás Domínguez, back from a long, long lay-off, also starts, with Dilane Bakwa and Dan Ndoye recalled out wide.
Douglas Luiz misses out with an injury, while Ibrahima Sangare and Callum Hudson-Odoi are demoted to substitute duty.
There’s no Murillo once again as his recovery from a knock to the thigh drags on.
But Nikola Milenkovic is fine after hobbling off with a spot of cramp in Spain.
There’s just one change for Sunderland, and it’s an enforced one as Reinildo is suspended.
Rather than bring Dan Ballard in and rejig the backline, Regis Le Bris has simply gone like-for-like and hands Arthur Masuaku his first Premier League start since his summer move.
