Chris Hughton reveals Nottingham Forest team to face Bournemouth as he makes three changes

Chris Hughton has made three changes to his Nottingham Forest team for this evening’s encounter with Bournemouth.

Hughton has seen fit to alter things after the galling 2-0 loss at Barnsley on Saturday, and he has brought in Sammy Ameobi, Gaeten Bong and Harry Arter into his starting XI.

All three were among the substitutes at Oakwell over the weekend but they all get the nod here, over Fulham loanee Anthony Knockaert, left-back Yuri Ribeiro and Miguel Angel Guerrero.

That means that Lyle Taylor will continue to lead the line, and he’ll have Ameobi and Joe Lolley flanking him.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are fresh from their 4-2 victory over Reading at the weekend - they were trailing 2-0 in the same game - but boss Jason Tindall has still made a couple of changes to his back-line.

In come Adam Smith at right-back and Chris Mepham at centre half. Lloyd Kelly moves out to left-back and full-back Diego Rico drops to the bench. Jack Stacey misses out altogether.

Bournemouth

Begovic; Smith, S Cook, Mepham, Kelly; Lerma, Stanislas, L Cook, Brooks, Danjuma, Solanke

Subs: Travers, Rico, Simpson, Billing, Ofoborh, Gosling, Riquelme, Anthony, Sturridge

Nottingham Forest

Samba; Christie, Figueiredo, McKenna, Bong; Ameobi, Colback (c), Arter, Yates, Lolley; Taylor

Subs: Smith, Ribeiro, Mbe Soh, Jenkinson, Cafu, Guerrero, Knockaert, Ioannou, Swan
